Answer 1

Given :

Rona mixes 2 pounds of meat with some chopped vegetables to make a mixture.

To find :

Calculate the amount of chopped vegetables.

Solution :

Let Rona mixes the amount of chopped vegetables = x pounds

She makes a mixture of 2 pounds of meat and 'x' pounds of vegetable.

She divides the mixture into 4 equal portions.

Each portion weighs 3 pounds.

So the equation will be

$\frac{(2+x)}{4}=3$

Now solve for x.

2 + x = 3 × 4

2 + x = 12

x = 12 - 2

x = 10

Rona mixes 10 pounds of chopped vegetables.
