Question

...Kyoko adds 2 ounces of nuts to every 10 ounces of fuit bar mix. If she made 5 pounds of fruit bar mix, how many ounces of nuts did she add to the mix?

Answer 1

1 ounces of nuts did she add to the mix.

Explanation:

Given:

Kyoko adds 2 ounces of nuts to every 10 ounces of fruit bar mix.

If she made 5 pounds of fruit bar mix.

Now, to find the ounces of nuts she add to the mix.

She made 5 pounds of fruit bar mix.

Let the ounces of nuts be
`x` she add to the mix.

As, she adds 2 ounces of nuts to every 10 ounces of fruit bar mix.

So, 2 is equivalent to 10.

Thus,
`x` is equivalent to 5.

Now, to get the ounces of nuts she add to the mix by using cross multiplication method:

`(2)/(10) =(x)/(5)`

By cross multiplying we get:

`10=10x`

Dividing both sides by 10 we get:

`1=x\\\\x=1\ ounces.`

Therefore, 1 ounces of nuts did she add to the mix.
