Answer 1

Given :

Each pitcher of power smoothie that Ginger makes has 2 scoops of pineapple, 4 scoops of strawberries, 1 scoop of spinach, and 1 scoop of kale.

To Find :

If Ginger makes 6 pitchers of power smoothies, how many scoops will she use in all.

Solution :

Let, Ginger makes x pitchers of power smoothies :

`Total \ scoops = 2x+4x+x+x+6x`

Now, it is given that Ginger makes 6 pitchers of power smoothies.

Total scoops are :

`T=2(6)+4(6)+6+6+6(6)\\\\T=84\ scoops`

Therefore, number of scoops Ginger used is 84.

Hence, this is the required solution.
