Answer:
1 ounces of nuts did she add to the mix.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Kyoko adds 2 ounces of nuts to every 10 ounces of fruit bar mix.
If she made 5 pounds of fruit bar mix.
Now, to find the ounces of nuts she add to the mix.
She made 5 pounds of fruit bar mix.
Let the ounces of nuts be [tex]x[/tex] she add to the mix.
As, she adds 2 ounces of nuts to every 10 ounces of fruit bar mix.
So, 2 is equivalent to 10.
Thus, [tex]x[/tex] is equivalent to 5.
Now, to get the ounces of nuts she add to the mix by using cross multiplication method:
[tex]\frac{2}{10} =\frac{x}{5}[/tex]
By cross multiplying we get:
[tex]10=10x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 10 we get:
[tex]1=x\\\\x=1\ ounces.[/tex]
Therefore, 1 ounces of nuts did she add to the mix.
