Max mixes a 14.1 lbs bag of gravy treat dog food with a 10.1 lbs bag of hungry dog food. if the proportional relationship between the quantities remains constant, how many lbs of gravy treats would each small bag contain if each small bag weighed 1.5 lbs
Answer provided by our tutors
The percentage of gravy treats in the mix is: 14.1/(14.1 + 10.1) = 141/242
Thus the lbs of gravy treats in the 1.5 lbs small bag is:
(141/242)*1.5 = 0.87 lbs approximately
