Question 778792
Let {{{ x }}} = pounds of fresh green beans needed
{{{ 2x + 4*.6 = 1.5*( x + .5*4 ) }}}
( note that the {{{ .5*4 }}} is 4 of the 1/2 pound of H.H. beans )
{{{ 2x + 2.4 = 1.5x + 3 }}}
{{{ .5x = .6 }}}
{{{ x = 6/5 }}}
1.2 pounds of fresh green beans are needed
check:
{{{ 2x + 2.4 = 1.5x + 3 }}}
{{{  2.4 + 2.4 = 1.8 + 3 }}}
{{{ 4.8 = 4.8 }}}
OK
