One pound of a snack food mixes 3 peanuts for every 8 pieces of popcorn. If a crate of snack food has 30 pounds of popcorn, how many pounds of snack food are there in a crate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Snack food = 41.25 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to mix 3 peanuts (pn) for every 8 pieces of popcorn (poc),  How many pounds of snack food are there in a crate whit 3 0 pounds of popcorn?

assuming that the weight of each peanut is equal to each popcorn, then:

[tex]\frac{3pn*30poc}{8poc}= 11.25 pn[/tex]

This means that there are 11.25 pounds of peanuts, so in the crate there is a total of 41.25 pounds of snack  food

30poc+11.25pn= 41.25sf
