Answer:
x = 19 [tex]\frac{3}{19}[/tex] pounds of flour
Step by Step Solution:
We can write this as a ratio....
10:38 = X:50
Now we can set this up as a proportion....
[tex]\frac{10}{38}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{X}{50}[/tex]
Now, we can cross multiply....
38x = 500
Now, we divide both sides by 38...
x = [tex]\frac{500}{38}[/tex]
x = 19 [tex]\frac{3}{19}[/tex] pounds of flour
Hope this Helps!!! :)
