Ming uses 48 scoops of high-protein food in one batch. how many scoops of high-fiber food does she use?

32 scoops

Step-by-step explanation:

so first we need to fill the tabl

the ratio between fiber (F) and protein (P) is 2:3 so therefore we know that there will be less protein then fiber.

if we look at the first column in the table it says there are 100 total scoops in mix, so that means two numbers = 100 and they are two different numbers. Since we know it is a 2:3 ratio, the possible numbers could be 40 scoops fiber and 60 scoops protein. to check if that's right just multiply 60 x 2/3 = 40.

for the second column we do the same, we know that to find the number of fiber from the protein we need to multiply 2/3, so since we have 1 protein we multiply that by 2/3 and we get 0.6666... which also = 2/3 so fiber = 2/3. to find the total just add the fiber and protein = 1 2/3. Now the last column we need to find protein, so we do the opposite, we need to divide by 2/3, and the rule for dividing fractions is to change it into multiplication. So 1 × 3/2 or 1 1/2 = 3/2 or 1 1/2 scoops of protein. The total scoops for this would = 2 1/2 or 5/2.

now the answer to the question:

since we need to find the number for scoops of fiber, we need to use an equation, which would be F = 2/3P, since to find scoop of fiber you need to multiply the scoop of Protein to 2/3. So, F = 2/3 (48) = 32 scoops of high fiber food.

Hope this helps and makes sense!
