Question

Ruth wants to put a birdseed mix in her birdfeeder. The mix is 30% wild bird seed and 70% sunflower seed. Her birdfeeder can hold 8 cups of birdseed. How many cups of the mix will be wild bird seed?

Answer 1

2.4 of the cups

Explanation:

30% of 8 = 2.4

70% of 8 = 5.6

30% + 70% = 100%

2.4 + 5.6 = 8
