Answer:
The number of large boxes of granola bars = 2
The number of small boxes of granola bars = 4 boxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of granola bars in each small box = 8
The number of bars in each large bag = 12 bars
Now, total number of granola bars in the total bags = 56
Let us assume the number of large boxes in the camp = m
So, the number of small boxes = 2 x ( Number of large boxes) = 2 x(m) = 2 m
Also, number of granola bars in m large boxes
= m x ( Number of bars in 1 large bag) = m x (12) = 12 m
And, number of granola bars in 2 m small boxes
= 2 m x ( Number of bars in 1 small bag) = 2 m x (8) = 16 m
⇒ Total number of bars in ( large+ small) box = Total bars
⇒ 12 m + 16 m = 56
or, 28 m = 56
or, m = 56/28 = 2, or m = 2
Hence, the number of large boxes of granola bars = m = 2
The number of small boxes of granola bars = 2 m =2 x 2 = 4 boxes.
