Answer:
2nd choice
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the inital peanuts, we multiply 32 ounces by 3/10 or 0.3. then we add x which are peanuts as well. that makes 0.3 x 32 + x. this is our total peanuts. to find the percantage, we find the whole mixture which is now 32 + x, divide peanuts by the whole mixture and multiply by 100.
At three weeks both will have 17 the equation for jessie is (8+3x) the equation for riley is (23-2x). x is the amount of weeks. to find the answer yourself, take both equations and make them equal. ex. 8+3x=23-2x.
Find a common denominator to begin. The common denominator is the LCM of both denominators. In this case, the common denominator will be 24.
Now, multiply the numerator by the number you multiplied the denominator. For 2/3, you multiplied 3 by 8, so multiply 2 by 8 to get 16. The fraction is now 16/24. Multiply 4 by 3 since you multiplied 8 by 3 to get 24. You will get 12 and the fraction will become 12/24.
Then, compare. 16/24 is closer to 24/24, or one whole, so 16/24, or 2/3, is greater.
