Answer 1

Answer:

He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ounces of raisins

y -----> the number of ounces of nuts

we know that

x+y=24 -----> equation A

x=2y -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(2y)+y=24

3y=24

y=8 ounces of nuts

Find the value of x

x=2(8)=16 ounces of raisins

therefore

He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts

Answer 2

Answer:

8 ounces of nuts and 16 ounces of raisins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enrique is making a party mix that contains raisins and nuts.

For each ounce of nuts, he uses twice the amount of raisins.

Let the amount of nuts = x

the amount of raisins = 2x

Total amount of party mix he need to make = 24 ounces

the equation will be

x + 2x = 24

3x = 24

x = $\frac{24}{3}$

x = 8 ounces

The amount of raisins = 2x = 2(8)

                                    =  16 ounces

For 24 ounces of party mix Enrique need  8 ounce of nuts and 16 ounces of raisins.
