Question #152d2

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

First, let's call the amount of flour that will be needed: `f`

We can write the rations as:

`7:6 -> 650:f` or

`7/6 = 650/f` or

`6/7 = f/650`

Now, multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(650)` to solve for `f` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(650) xx 6/7 = color(red)(650) xx f/650`

`3900/7 = cancel(color(red)(650)) xx f/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(650)))`

`557 = f`

Russ will 557 mg of flour rounded to the nearest mg.
