Jimmy and John are trying to put a mixture together of blue jelly beans and red jelly beans for a souvenir.gift. The blue jelly beans cost $0.27 per ounce and the red jelly beans cost $0.44 per ounce. They would like to make bags that are a mixture of both and cost $3.08 per bag. Use complete sentences to explain why or why not it would be reasonable to say that the mixture could contain 6 ounces of blue jelly beans and 4 ounces of red jelly beans.

Answer :

It is not reasonable, because is you do $0.27 x 6 = $1.62 and $0.44 x 4 = $1.76 and then add them you would get 1.62 + 1.76 = $3.38 which would be over $3.08 by 30 cents. 

Hope this Helps!!
