A tea company is making a special blend of two teas for aa customer. The ratio of Kenyan tea to Darjeeling tea in the blend is 4 to 5. How much Darjeeling tea is in 90 ounces of the blend?
50
Thanks! But how did you get that..?
darjeeling tea to the ratio of the entire blend is 5 (in the ratio it is given) / 9 (sum of both teas) = 5/9
so, 5/9 * 90 ounces = 50 ounces
thus the answer is 50 ounces. sorry for being unclear
He might have gotten it by using a proportion.
5/9 = x/90
9x = 450
x = 50
You're fine. I also need help on a couple others.
