Question

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROPORTION PROBLEM!!

I'm not sure how to do this!!

Answer 1

Ratio of chocolate to mix: 3:5

New ratio: x:7

Create a proportion to find the amount of chocolates (x).

3/5=x/7

Cross multiply

21=5x

Divide both sides by 5

4.2=x

4.2 pounds are chocolates.

I hope this helps :)
