Answer 1

Answer:

9 parts of beans and 12 parts of ground beef is in the chilli.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In a pot of chilli, there are 3 parts of beans to every 4 parts of ground beef.

If a total of 21 combined parts we're used to make.

Now, to find each ingredients is in the chilli.

As, given there are 3 parts of beans to every 4 parts of ground beef.

Let the beans be $3x.$

And the ground beef be $4x.$

Total combined parts = 21.

Now, to get the each ingredients we solve an equation:

$3x+4x=21$

$7x=21$

Dividing both sides by 7 we get:

$x=3.$

The beans = $3x=3\times 3=9.$

The ground beef = $4x=4\times 3=12$.

Therefore, 9 parts of beans and 12 parts of ground beef is in the chilli.
