Question

plz help Pru, Piper, and Phoebe share spices in the ratio 5:3:4. If Pru has 24 more spices than Piper, how many spices does Phoebe have?

Answer 1

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Pru, Piper, and Phoebe share spices in the ratio 5:3:4

5+3+4=12

So Pru has 5/12 share of spices, Piper has 3/12 share of spices, and Phoebe has 4/12 share of spices.

If Pru has 24 more spices than Piper, (5/12 - 3/12)=2/12 share of spices =24

Total spices = 24x12/2 = 144

Phoebe has 4/12x144 = 48 spices

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pru, Piper, Phoebe ratio 5:3:4vadded = 12

What this means is Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total amount, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices.

pru = piper + 24

5/12x = 3/12x + 24

5/12x - 3/12x = 24

2/12x = 24

x = 24 / (1/6)

x = 24 * 6

x = 144 spices in total

Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices

Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices

Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices

I hope this can help.
