Answer:
979.6 pounds of French Roast make 3000 pounds of coffee blend
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have 1.6 pounds of French Roast and 3.3 pounds of Kona beans, the total coffee blend is 4.9 pounds (1.6 + 3.3).
There are 1.6 pounds of French Roast for every 4.9 pounds of blend.
The amount of French Roast will increase with the total coffee blend.
Use proportions to solve in the form French Roast / Coffee blend.
[tex]\frac{1.6}{4.9} =\frac{x}{3000}[/tex]
Find how to get from 4.9 to 3000.
3000 ÷ 4.9 = 612.245 (Rounded to three decimals)
Multiply 1.6 by 612.245.
x = 979.592
x = 979.6 Round to one decimal place like in the question
Therefore 979.6 pounds of French Roast is needed.
