HELP QUICK!!! (b) Carlos wants to try out a different bird food. He sees that a bag of Keet Supreme contains 20 servings of food and a bag of Veggie Blend contains 18 servings of food. A serving is 3/4 cup of food. Carlos has a bin that holds exactly 14 cups of food. Carlos will buy the bag of food that contains the most food and that he can empty completely into his bin. Which bag should Carlos buy? Show your work.

Answer 1

Find put how many cups each bag has. You do this by multiplying serving by 3/4. The 20 bag has 15 while the 18 bag has 13.5. He wants to bag to empty completely into a bin that holds 14. Therefore 20 is too much so he must get the 18 serving bag
