Respuesta :

Answer:

22.68 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mustafa buys 6 cans of beans.

Each can contains 12.6 ounces of beans.

Mustafa uses 0.7 of the beans in a stew.

And the rest of the beans for tacos.

Question asked:

How many ounces does he use for tacos?

Solution:

Total cans of beans, Mustafa buys = 6

Each can contains ounces of beans = 12.6

6 can contains ounces of beans = [tex]12.6\times6=75.6\ ounces[/tex]

As Mustafa uses 0.7 of the beans in a stew:

Mustafa uses in a strew = [tex]0.7\times75.6=52.92\ ounces[/tex]

Remaining ounces of beans used for tacos = 75.6 - 52.92 = 22.68 ounces.

Thus, he used 22.68 ounces of beans for tacos.
