Question

Honeybees produce 7 pounds of honey for every 1 pound of beeswax they produce. Use

equivalent ratios to find how many pounds of honey are produced when 25 pounds of beeswax
are produced.

Answer 1

1x25=25
7x25=175


175lbs. of honey will be produced if there are 25lbs. of beeswax

Answer 2

Honey produced: Beeswax = 7:1 Therefore, if you have 25 pounds of beeswax, you need to divide 25 by 1, giving you 25. This will then show you what you need to multiply the amount of honey produced by. 7x25=175. Therefore, if you have 25 lbs of beeswax, you'll be able to make 175lbs if honey Hope this helps :)
