Georgia makes trail mix by mixing fruit and nuts in a ratio of 3 to 2. If Georgia
mixes in 18 ounces of fruit, how many
Ounces of nuts should she add?

12 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ounces of fruits that should be added be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, this can be represented by:

3/2 = 18/x

Cross multiply

3 × x = 18 × 2

3x = 36

x = 36/3

x = 12

Therefore, 12 ounces of nuts should be added.

By inverse proportion,

3/2 = 18/x

3x = 36

x = 36/3

x = 12.

Hence, 12 ounces of nuts should she add.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
