Question

A box of granola weighs 24 ounces and a box of bran flacks weighs 6/8 as much as the ronal A box of Corn Pops weighs 1 1/8 as much as the ronal what is the least number of ounces found in either box or ronal bran flakes or Corn Pops

Answer 1

Answer:

54 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

A box of granola weighs 24 ounces and a box of bran flacks weighs 6/8 as much as the ronal

The number of ounces of the bran flakes = 6/8 of the box of the granola

= 6/8 × 24 ounces

= 18 ounces

A box of Corn Pops weighs 1 1/8 as much as the granola

Hence, the number of ounces of the box of corn pops =

1 1/8 of the granola box

= 9/8 × 24 ounces

= 27 ounces

The least number of ounces found in either box or ronal bran flakes or Corn Pops is calculated as:

We solve using LCM Method

Multiples of 18:

18, 36, 54, 72, 90

Multiples of 27:

27, 54, 81, 108

Therefore,

LCM(18, 27) = 54

The least number of ounces found in either box or ronal bran flakes or Corn Pops is 54 ounces
