Question

Suppose 38 lbs of coffee beans are required to produce 2 lbs of​ Farmer's coffee. How many lbs of coffee beans are required to produce 309 lbs of​ Farmer's coffee?

Answer 1

5871 lbs

Explanation:

You can make proportion:

38 : x = 2 : 309

When we multiply external and internal members we get.

2 x = 309 · 38 => x = 11742/2 = 5871 lbs

x = 5871 lbs

God with you!!!
