Answer:
54 ounces
Explanation:
A box of granola weighs 24 ounces and a box of bran flacks weighs 6/8 as much as the ronal
The number of ounces of the bran flakes = 6/8 of the box of the granola
= 6/8 × 24 ounces
= 18 ounces
A box of Corn Pops weighs 1 1/8 as much as the granola
Hence, the number of ounces of the box of corn pops =
1 1/8 of the granola box
= 9/8 × 24 ounces
= 27 ounces
The least number of ounces found in either box or ronal bran flakes or Corn Pops is calculated as:
We solve using LCM Method
Multiples of 18:
18, 36, 54, 72, 90
Multiples of 27:
27, 54, 81, 108
Therefore,
LCM(18, 27) = 54
The least number of ounces found in either box or ronal bran flakes or Corn Pops is 54 ounces
