Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x + x = 20

2/3 x + 3/3x = 20

5/3 x = 20   ... times 3/5 both sides

x = 12

check: 2/3 x 12 + 12 = 8 + 12 = 20

Let's assign a variable x to the number of multiples for each pound of dry mix and water. With that being the said, the question for finding the total pounds would be:

Total pounds = x*Pounds of dry mix + x*Pounds of water
Total pounds = 60x + 8x = 68x = 14 + 1/6 = 85/6
x = 85/6 / 68
x = 5/24

Thus, the pounds of dry mix is 60*5/24 = 25/2 lbs, while the pounds of water is 8*5/24 = 5/3 pounds.
