Kama made fruit drinks for a party. She used a total of 168 ounces of bananas and blueberries. The recipe called for 3 ounces of bananas and 2 1/4 ounces of blueberries for each drink. How many ounces of blueberries did Kama use for the fruit drinks she made?

she used 72 ounces of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

She used a total of 168 ounces of bananas and blueberries. This means that

x + y = 168

The recipe called for 3 ounces of bananas and 2 1/4 ounces of blueberries for each drink. This means that the ratio of ounces of bananas to blueberries used for each drink is 3 : 2.25

Total ratio = 3 + 2.25 = 5.25

Therefore, the number of ounces of blueberries did Kama use for the fruit drinks she made is

2.25/5.25 × 168 = 72 ounces.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
