The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to cross multiply and solve
The problem gives us a ratio
2 pounds of granola = 3 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of

The other ratio is
? pounds of granola = 24 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of

To solve, set them equal to each other ...

Now we must cross multiply...
To cross multiply, we multiply
2 and 24 and we multiply
3 and x Now we have an equation to solve!
3x = 48 To solve and get your final answer, divide...
x =
x = 16
You'll need 16 pounds of granola
For the first picture using Pythagorean Theorem, we know that a^2 + b ^2 = c^2 but since we only know c ( 99.2) and b ( 62 ) we need to use the theorem to find a the equation we use for that is :
A = square root of ( c^2 - B^2 )
A = 77.44
Answer:
No mistake
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 5
x - 2y = 10
y = 5 - 2x
x - 2(5 - 2x) = 10
x - 10 + 4x = 10
5x - 10 = 10
5x = 20
x = 4
2(4) + y = 5
y = -3
She made no mistake
You can check by plugging in x = 4 and y = -3 into the original equations . They fit exactly.
