Question

A bakery sells white loaves and brown loaves.

Answer 1

Answer:

880 brown loaves

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a ratio of brown loaves to total loaves by adding the the current ratio, 4:5 together.

4 + 5 = 9.

Now create the new ration of brown loaves to total loaves.

5:9

Next make a proportion using brown (numerator) to total (denominator).

Then cross multiply and divide.

$\frac{5}{9} = \frac{b}{1584}$

$9b = 7920\\\frac{9b}{9} =\frac{7920}{9} \\b=880$
