So x times y=3030
x and y=unknown
find the factors (factors of 6=2 and 3)
3030=2,3,5,101 so
two multiplication is
2 times 1515
3 times 1010
5 times 606
30 times 101
202 times 15
303 times 10
505 times 6
1 1/9
To figure out how much walnuts to a pound of dried fruit you’d need to do proportions. So we cross multiply:
2/3 = X
—————- —————-
3/5 = 1
You multiply diagnols 2/3 x 1 = 2/3
3/5 times x is 3/5x.
2/3 = 3/5x. Isolate the variable. Divide 3/5 on both sides cancel out 3/5. 2/3 divide by 3/5 is 2/3 x 5/3 which is 10/9 which equals 1 1/9.
So for 1 lb of dried fruit you need 1 1/9 lb of walnuts to maintain the same mixture
The answer is C Because 60x is implying 60 by a variable and the + 2000 Implies it’s already at 2000
