X and Y are supplementary, that means X + Y = 180.
But we have, X = Y +24, then
X + Y = Y + 24 + Y = 2Y + 24 = 180
Then
2Y = 156
Y = 78
Then X = 78 + 24 = 102.
The answer is 9
12 ounces x
--------------- = ----------------
10 pounds of soil 120 pounds of soil
Set the equation up as a proportion and solve for x:
10x = 1440
---- -----
10 10
x = 144 ounces
The question asks for the answer in pounds, and 16 ounces = 1 pound.
144/16 = 9
