Question 1038389: Whats an example of a mixture problem that could be
represented by the expression 8 + x / 13 + x + y ?
Info: A shop sells candy and nuts by the pound. One item is a mixture made with 8 pounds of peanuts and 5 pounds of cashews. Therefore, 8 / 8 + 5 or 8 / 13 of the mixture is peanuts.If the store adds an additional x pounds of peanuts to the mixture, then 8 + x / 13 + x of the mixture will be peanuts. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the shop adds x lbs of peanuts to the mix, then you have:
8/13+x/(13+x) amount of the mixture being peanuts!!!!!!!!!!!
