You can cross multiply fractions only if there is an "=" sign in the middle of the two fractions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Todd fills 30 paper cups with ketchup and Yuki fills 27 paper cups with ketchup.
Each paper cup holds 1 ounce
Todd = 30 * 1 = 30 ounces
Yuki = 27 * 1 = 27 ounces
Total ounces = 30 + 27
Later, Todd and Yuki learn that two other company employees completed exactly the same task.
Total ounces = 2 (30 + 27)

Answer:
22 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
When z "varies jointly" with x and y, it can be described by the formula
z = kxy
Here, we have bags of mulch (n) varying jointly with area (a) and depth (d), both in feet. The given information can let us find the value of k.
n = kad
10 = k·(120)(1/4)
10/30 = k = 1/3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of k
Now, we can fill in the other values of interest.
n = (1/3)·(200)·(1/3) = 200/9
n = 22 2/9
You need 22 2/9 bags of mulch to cover 200 ft² to a depth of 4 inches.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>
This problem requires the formula be written with both area and depth expressed in feet, yet it gives depth in inches. The formula can also be written using depth in inches. In that case, k = 1/36.
