: a bakery makes a special whole-grain bread using two kinds of flour. whole wheat and rye. the recipe for this bread calls for 1 oz rye flour for every 4 oz of whole-wheat flour. how many ounces of each kind of flour should be used to make a loaf of bread weighing 32 oz?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! a bakery makes a special whole-grain bread using two kinds of flour. whole wheat and rye. the recipe for this bread calls for 1 oz rye flour for every 4 oz of whole-wheat flour. how many ounces of each kind of flour should be used to make a loaf of bread weighing 32 oz?
-------------------------
The ratio of rye to whole-wheat is 1:4.
Let the amount of rye be "x"
Then the amount of whole-wheat is "4x"
---------
Equation:
x + 4x = 32
5x = 32
x = 6.4 oz (amt of rye in the bread)
4x = 25.6 oz (amt of whole-wheat in the bread)
