The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to cross multiply and solve
The problem gives us a ratio
2 pounds of granola = 3 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of
The other ratio is
? pounds of granola = 24 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of
To solve, set them equal to each other ...
Now we must cross multiply...
To cross multiply, we multiply 2 and 24
and we multiply 3 and x
Now we have an equation to solve!
3x = 48
To solve and get your final answer, divide...
x =
x = 16
You'll need 16 pounds of granola

<h3>Answer: 73</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
Check out the diagram below. Note the pair of alternate interior angles that are congruent (each 37 degrees). Then focus on triangle ABC. With the reference angle being at A, this means we use the tangent function because BC = x is the opposite side and AB = 97 is the adjacent side.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(A) = BC/AB
tan(37) = x/97
97*tan(37) = x
x = 97*tan(37)
x = 73.094742859971
For the last step, you'll need a calculator that can handle trig functions. Make sure the calculator is in degree mode. The result here is approximate. This rounds to 73 when rounding to the nearest whole number.
