Answer 2

70

80

Explanation:

Assuming these ratios stay consistent, if each plant recycled 350 total bottles in a day, plant B would recycle___70____ more red bottles than plant A. Plant C would recycle_____80___________ more red bottles than plant D.

A = We first multiply 150 x 2.333 (2 1/3) = 350 tbottles 60 x 2.333 = 140

B = Then multiply 350/200 = 200 x 1.75 350 tbottles RED = 120 x 1.75=210

First answer = 210-140 = B recycles 70 more than A

C = We first multiply 175 x 2 = 350 tbottles RED = 110 x 2 = 220

D = We first find LCM of 180 and 350

Then find 18x now equals 1/10 x 35x tbottles RED = 72 / 18 = 4 then 4 x 35 = 140

Second answer = 220-140 = C recycles 80 more than D.
