Ana makes her own birdseed. She mixes 8 ounces of barley, 16 ounces of dried fruit, and 12 ounces of corn. How many pounds of bird seed does Ana make with this recipe?

36

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 8 to 12 you get 20 and then you add 16 to that 20 and then you get 36

8 + 12 = 20

20 + 16 = 36

36 ounces of bird seeds

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
