Answer:
1020 raisins
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a proportion using the following setup:
raisins/bags= raisins/ bags
We know there are 680 raisins in 8 bags.
680 raisins/8 bags= raisins/bags
We don't know how many raisins are in 12 bags, so we can say x raisins are in 12 bags.
680 raisins/ 8 bags= x raisins / 12 bags
680/8=x/12
We want to find x. To do this, we must get x by itself.
x is being diveded by 12. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 12.
12*(680/8)= (x/12)*12
12*680/8=x
12*85=x
1020=x
x= 1020 raisins
There are 1020 raisins in 12 bags.
Multiply 8 3/4 lb by the conversion factor 16 oz
------------
1 lb
Then 35 lb 16 oz 560 oz
-------- * ----------- = ------------- = 140 oz (answer)
