Question

You are making a snack mix consisting of granola and peanuts. Granola has 3 grams of fiber per ounce and peanuts have 2 grams of fiber per ounce. You want the snack mix to have at least 16 grams of fiber and weigh no more than 8 ounces.

Let x represent the number of ounces of granola in the mix and y represent the number of ounces of peanuts in the mix.
What does the solution (5, 3) represent for this system of inequalities? Question 10 options:

A) Your mixture has 5 ounces of peanuts and 3 ounces of granola.
B)Your mixture has 5 grams of fiber and weighs 3 ounces.
C) Your mixture has 3 grams of fiber and weighs 5 ounces.

Answer 1

Mixture has 5 ounces of granola

And 3 ounces of peanuts.

Explanation:

x represent the number of ounces of granola in the mix and

y represent the number of ounces of peanuts in the mix.

System of equation becomes:

`x+y\geq 16`

`3x+2y\leq 8`

(5,3) means (x,y) coordinate.

And since, x represent the number of ounces of granola

y represent the number of ounces of peanuts

Therefore, mixture has 5 ounces of granola

And 3 ounces of peanuts.
