Step-by-step explanation:

Carla is making bean salad.

The recipe calls for 4 parts green beans and 3 parts yellow wax beans.

Beans would be used in the ratio of 4 : 3.

Carla would make 56 ounces of bean salad.

We will use 'x' as the multiplier of ratio numbers

4x + 3x = 56

7x = 56

x =

x = 8

Now we multiply both the numbers by 8 to get our answers.

4x = 4 × 8 = 32 ounces green beans

3x = 3 × 8 = 24 ounces yellow wax beans
