Well you need the mixture to start off by equalling $7, no matter what weight it is. The mean of two $6 candies and one $9 candy is $7 (6+6+9 = 21, 21/3 = 7)
So the ratio of 2:1 6$:9$ makes $7

Add 2 and 1 to get 3, 15/3 = 5, and because you're working out how much you need for the $9 candy, 5*1 (Because of the 2:1 ratio) is 5
She needs 5 pounds worth of the 9$ candy

your recipe calls for 1/2 a pound of potatoes. You use 1/6 of the bag of potatoes. whats the number of pounds per bag
zhannawk [14.2K]
I you use 1/6 of the bag for 1/2 a pound then you need to set up a proportion.

1/6 bag / 1 bag = 1/2 pound / x pounds      Cross Multiply
(1/6)*x = 1/2 pounds * 1 bag Divide by 1/6

Remember: in a 4 level fraction, the denominator inverts and multiplies.


x = {x = }\frac{ \frac{1}{2} }{ \frac{1}{6} } \\ \\ {x =} \frac{1}{2} *  \frac{6}{1} \\ \\{x = }  \frac{6}{2} = 3
