Question

Alyssa has a 10.2-gram bag of pretzels and a 21.3-gram bag of snack mix. She puts an equal amount of the combined pretzel and snack mix into each of 3 large bowls. How much mix does Alyssa put in each bowl? PLZ ANSWER

Answer 1

pretzel, p = 10.2 grams

snack mix, s = 21.3 grams

number of bowls = 3

amount per bowl, a = 10.2/3 + 21.3/3

a = 3.4g of p + 7.1g of s = 10.5g of combined

Answer 2

The amount of mix Alyssa put in each bowl is 31.5 grams

The gram bag of pretzels (P) Alyssa has = 10.2 grams

The gram bag of snack mix (S) Alyssa has = 21.3 grams

The total amount of grams is (P +S) = (10.2 + 21.3) grams

= 31.5 grams

If she puts an equal amount of (P + S) into each of  the 3 large bowls, we have:

P + S = 3

i.e

In each bowl, we still have 31.5 grams of combined pretzel and snack mix.
