Roll needs to make a sauce mixture of 2/5 sand and 2/5 of clay and one for Pete Mas to put his plants yes 75 pounds of sand how many total pounds of soil rather have it he adds clay and Pete Moss to the sand to make the correction mixture

187.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of sand = 2/5

Fraction of clay = 2/5

Fraction of peat = 1/5

Pounds of sand = 75

The total pounds of soil required to make Correct mixture : let that be x

Hence,

Using the sand Fraction and pounds which we know :

2/5 of x = 75

2x / 5 = 75

Cross multiply :

2x = 75 * 5

2x = 375

x = 375 / 2

x = 187.5

Required pond of sand =187.5 pounds

your answer is d 2,500
