Pls help me!! ASAP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Brandon's bread recipe calls for milk powder, sugar, and flour in a ratio of 2:3:15, respectively. How many pounds of each does Brandon need if the three ingredients together weigh 2 lb?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.2 pounds of milk

0.3 pounds of sugar

1.5 pounds of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the ratio [tex]2:3:15[/tex], then we know that all of these ingredients together will be [tex]15+3+2=20[/tex]. If we want the whole thing to weight 2 pounds, then the total weight of everything else will be [tex]20\div2=10[/tex] percent of the original.

So,

[tex]2\cdot0.1=0.2\\\\3\cdot0.1=0.3\\\\15\cdot0.1=1.5[/tex]

We can confirm this is correct because [tex]1.5+0.3+0.2=2[/tex].

Hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple formula [tex]\frac{item ratio}{total ratio}[/tex]×total amount

milk powder;  ×2= 0.2 lb

sugar; [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex]×2= 0.3 lb

flour; [tex]\frac{15}{20}[/tex]×2= 1.5 lb

To check you can add them up :)
