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
