2. A bag of trail mix weighs 2 pounds. By weight, 18% of the mix is oats. (a) Use the 10 by 10 grid to represent 2 lb of trail mix. Determine how much weight each square represents and label all the squares. Then, shade in 18% of the grid. (b) What is the weight of the oats in the trail mix? Show your work and label your answer.

Weight of EACH square = 0.2 pounds

18% oat = 0.36 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Weight of bag = 2 lb

Percentage of oat in mix = 18%

% of the mix is oats. (a) Use the 10 by 10 grid to represent 2 lb of trail mix. Determine how much weight each square represents and label all the squares. Then, shade in 18% of the grid. (b) What is the weight of the oats in the trail mix? Show your work and label your answer.

If trail mix is represented by 10 by 10 square grid ;

Each square represents : 2 pounds / 10 = 0.2 pounds

18% of the total weight

0.18 * 2 = 0.36 pounds

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
