5/4=15/12
2/3=8/12
15/12+8/12=23/12
Answer:
It is
Step-by-step explanation:
1/12
That's correct
Rocky ate 42 cups of dog food. Since there are 7 days in a week, 21 cups were eaten per week (3x7). Since the question is asking for the amount in two weeks, you multiply 21x2 to get 42.
Make 2 equations from the question first
x is the number of pints for type 1
y is the number of pints for type 2
The equation
x + y = 120
60% x + 85% y = 65% (x + y)
Solve the equation
From the 2nd equation
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65(x + y)
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65x + 0.65y
0.85y - 0.65y = 0.65x - 0.6x
0.2y = 0.05x
y = 4x
From the 1st equation
x + y = 120
x + 4x = 120
5x = 120
x = 24
y = 4x
y = 96
The first type should be 24 pints, the second type should be 96 pints
