Yvette uses 6 grams of tea leaves to make 24 fluid ounces of tea. Last week she made 288 fluid ounces of tea. How many grams of tea leaves did Yvette use to make tea last week?

Respuesta :

bcalle
6/24 = x/288
Cross multiply
24x = 6(288)
24x = 1728
Divide both sides by 24
x = 72
72 grams of tea leaved

In order to make 288 fluid ounces of tea, Yvette had to have used 72 grams of tea leaves.

The first thing you need to do is to find out how many fluid ounces of tea a gram of tea leaves can make:

= Quantity of fluid ounces / grams of tea leaves

= 24 / 6

= 4 fluid ounces

If a gram makes 4 fluid ounces, the number of grams of tea leaves it would take to make 288 fluid ounces of tea is:

= Number of fluid ounces / 4

= 288 / 4

= 72 grams of tea leaves

In conclusion, 72 grams of tea leaves were used.
