P=protein
F=fiber
Baby Chimps
P/1.5=F
F x 1.5 =P
Adult Chimps
P x 1.5=F
L-44 New problem
The zoo keeper is making a batch of baby chimp food. He decides the food will have a total of 125 scoops. How many of those scoops will be high fiber?
-You must use a proportion to solve the problem.
40 = x
10 40
125 = x
100 40
Does this work?
40 = 50 (40 + 10=1/4 of 40)
60 75 (60 + 15=1/4 of 60)
