Bryson has 14 raspberry scones and 21 strawberry scones. He wants to make as many identical bags of scones as possible . Each ba
g should have an equal number of raspberry scones a d an equal number of strawberry scones . What is the greatest number of bags Bryson can fill ? Explain how you know.
Let the number of packages of hot dogs be D, and the number of packages of hamburgers be H. We can set up the equations: 1.60D + 5H = 23 D + H = 8 ---> which we can subtract D on both sides and get: H = 8 - D 1.6D + 40 - 5D = 23, -3.4D = -17, D = 5. The number of packages of hot dogs we buy are 5. Now, we plug that into D + H = 8, and get 5 + H = 8. Subtracting by 5 on both sides of the equation, we get H = 3. So the number of packages of hamburgers we buy are 3. --- Hope this helps!
Your answers are most definitely the third and fifth one. I don't know if there are more answers, cause if there are, please show them. I'd say your last answer is second one, but I am not totally sure. Again, please tell if there are more answers!
