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
Imagine there are 4 sits for fill for the debate team
we can fill the first sit in 35 different ways, second sit we only have 34 choices , third sit 33 and last sit 32 ways to possible fill it.
35·34·33·32=1,256,640 possible ways the team could be form
The answer is 10•11, if you look at the pattern, you don't have to solve the addition.
