Suppose you work for a large coffee distributor that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. You mix the Gazebo blen

d with the Mexican Shade Grown blend, but always in the same proportion. Yesterday, you mixed 90 pounds of the Gazebo blend with 27 pounds of the Mexican Shade Grown blend. Today, there is 60 pounds of the Gazebo coffee left in stock. How many pounds of the Mexican Shade Grown coffee should you mix with it to get your secret blend?

Answer:

18lbs of Mexican Shade Grown coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a ratio problem and we are given three values and one variable x (pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee needed) we can use the Rule of Three to solve this problem. In this rule we simply multiply the diagonal available values and divide by the third value to get the value of the variable, like so...

90lbs Gazebo  <=====>   27lbs Mexican Blend

60lbs Gazebo  <=====>   x lbs Mexican Blend

(60 * 27) / 90 = x

1620 / 90 = x

18 lbs = x

We need 18lbs of Mexican Shade Grown coffee blend to mix with the 60lbs of Gazebo blend

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number.why?
lesya692 [45]

One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction.  When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".

Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.

If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.

If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time.  You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.
