Question

Miranda made 6.88 pounds of trail mix she used 4.96 pounds of granola for the mix Miranda wrote the equation w + 4.96 = 6.88 to represent the weight of other ingredients w she used for the trail mix what was the weight of ingredients other than granola in Miranda's trail mix

Answer 1

1.82 pounds of trail mix

Answer 2

Okay, we need to solve for w using the equation w + 4.96 = 6.88

Step 1: to solve this equation first subtract 4.9 from both sides.
w + 4.9 - 4.9 = 6.88 - 4.9

When you reduce that your answer should be w = 1.92

Therefore the weight of ingredients other than granola in Miranda's trail mix is 1.92
