Jack is making a mixed bean salad. He is using green beans, white beans and black beans in the ratio 4:3:5. How many ounces of black beans did he use? How many total ounces is the salad?

Sagot :

Let G represent Green beans , W → White beans , and B →Black Beans .

• G : W : B

4 : 3 : 5

• (we can see that the green beans are in multiplicity of 8 ( 4*8 =32 ounces, therefore the ration of other beans is to be multiplied by 8 as well. )

4*8=32 : 3*8= 24 : 5*8= 40

0. This means that Jack used ,40 ounces of black beans .

,

1. Total ounce of the salad will then be : 32 +24 +40 = 96 ounce.
