???
Step-by-step explanation:
Keep in mind you would need a total of 120 ounces.
A: Corn cereal comes in 12 oz boxes and the person used 5 boxes, thus taking 60 oz away from the total, leaving 60 oz. Next, you’d have to divide 60 oz by 4 (since that’s how many boxes of wheat cereal were used). Resulting in a wheat box being worth 15 ounces!!
B: 12c+ 15w= 120 (c= corn cereal, w= wheat cereal)
C: 5 boxes of corn cereal with 4 boxes of wheat cereal; 0 boxes of corn cereal with 8 boxes of wheat cereal; 10 boxes of corn cereal with 0 boxes of wheat cereal.
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a typical mixture problem where using a table is the best thing.
pints juice % juice = total % juice
juice A x .70 = .70x
juice B 60-x .95 = .95(60-x)
total 60 .75 = 60(.75)
The last row gives you a total that you need to use, so do that multiplication to get 45. You now to need to add the last columns together for rows 1 and 2 and set them equal to 45: .7x +.95(60-x) = 45. When you do that math, you'll get that x = 48. This means that you need 48 pints of juice A and 60-48 pints of juice B, which is 12 pints.
