Answer:
They are shown together to find units of 4 total
4 (j/ total + s/total )
= 4 (1/4 + 3/4)
= 4/4 + 12/4
= 4 cups total
Then show letters and work out for j + s
4(j/3 + 3/4) = 4
4j/3 + 12/4 = 4
4j/3 + 3 = 4
4j/3 = 4-3
4j/3= 1
j = 1/3 s = 3/4 * 4 = 3
You would rearrange 4 within the brackets to find total
3 (1/3 + 4t) = 4
1 + 12t = 4
12t = 4-1
12t = 3
t = 12/3 of the total
t = 4
