Question

Cecile packages snack mix at a health food store.

Answer 1

Answer:
her supply has 18 pounds

Explanation:
Assume that the number of pounds in her supply is x.
We are given that:
She uses 1/3 x in salted mix and 2/9 x in unsalted mix.
This means that:
Total amount used = 1/3 x + 2/9 x = 5/9 x of her supply

Now, we are also given that:
She used 10 pounds of her supply.
This means that:
5/9 x = 10
5x = 9*10 = 90
x = 18 pounds

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 18 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3=6/18 and 2/9=4/18 add these 2 fractions together to get 10/18 therefore she used 10 pounds but had 18 pounds of sunflower seed supply in total. Have a good day:)
