A coffee company mixes 1.6 lb of French Roast beans with every 3.3 lb of Kona beans. How many pounds of French Roast are needed to make 3,000 lb. of the coffee blend?

Answer 1

1.6/(1.6 + 3.3) = 1.6/4.9 = 16/49 = 0.32653061224489795918367346938776‬.....

or just under 1/3

0.32653061224489795918367346938776‬ * 3000 = 979.59183673469387755102040816327 of the French Roast

and 3000-979.59183673469387755102040816327 = 2,020.4081632653061224489795918367
