Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a supplier sells 2 1/4 lbs mulch for every 1 1/3 lbs gravel, you want to know the weight of each if 172 total pounds were sold.
The ratio of pounds sold can be found as ...
mulch : gravel = 2 1/4 : 1 1/3 = 9/4 : 4/3 = 27/12 : 16/12 = 27 : 16
The fraction of mulch sold is 27/(27+16) = 27/43. In pounds, that fraction is ...
(172 lb)(27/43) = 108 lb . . . . . mulch
The rest is sold as gravel:
172 lb -108 lb = 64 lb . . . . . gravel
The supplier sold 108 lb of mulch and 64 lb of gravel.

If there are 10 apples and you take 4, then the remaining are 6 apples.
We have,
Use the concept of subtraction.
a - b = c
Where if a is greater than b, the answer is positive and if a is less than b, the answer is negative.
Now,
Total number of apples = 10 _______(1)
Number of apples taken = 4 _______(2)
Use this formula to find the remaining apples.
Substitute (1) and (2).
Number of apples remaining.
= 10 - 4
= 6
Thus,
If there are 10 apples and you take 4, then the remaining are 6 apples.
