The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to cross multiply and solve
The problem gives us a ratio
2 pounds of granola = 3 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of

The other ratio is
? pounds of granola = 24 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of

To solve, set them equal to each other ...

Now we must cross multiply...
To cross multiply, we multiply
2 and 24 and we multiply
3 and x Now we have an equation to solve!
3x = 48 To solve and get your final answer, divide...
x =
x = 16
You'll need 16 pounds of granola
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+
= 1
Multiply through by ab to clear the fractions
bx + ax = ab ← factor out x from each term on the left side
x(b + a) = ab ← divide both sides by (b + a)
x = 
Try this way:
Note,
1. that 16/2=8 it means 10/2=5.
2. that 10*3=30, it means 16*3=48
Finally for whole table:
================
forks: 16 8 48
================
spoons: 10 5 30
================
scientist A dissolved 1 kg of salt in 3 litres.
scientist B dissolved 20 pounds of slat in 7 pint of water.
we know that 1 pound =0.543 g
20 pounds=9.07 kg.
1 pint=0.5 litres
so 7 pints =3.5 litres
so dissoving 1 kg of salt in 3 litres of water and 9.07 kg in 3.5 litres of water
we know that for concentration kg/l units is used .
for A= 1/3=0.33kg/l
and B=9.07/3.5=2.59 kg/l.
so scientist A has prepared more concentrated solution .
