Question

Melanie uses 13

Answer 1

Answer:

She has 9 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Bread = \frac{1}{3}$

$Granola = \frac{4}{9}$

$Used = 7$

Required

The total in her supply

Represent the  cranberry with c.

So:

$\frac{1}{3}c + \frac{4}{9}c = 7$ ---- Used cranberry

Take LCM

$\frac{3c + 4c}{9} = 7$

$\frac{7c}{9} = 7$

Solve for c

$c= 7 * \frac{9}{7}$

$c= 9$
