The syrup is a combination of sugar and water, with the sugar content being 12%, equivalent to 5 grams.

Subtracting 12% from 100% leaves us with 88%, indicating that the remaining portion is water.

If 12% equals 5g, what does 88% correspond to?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 5&12\\ x&88 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}=\cfrac{12}{88}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}=\cfrac{3}{22}\implies 110=3x \\\\\\ \cfrac{110}{3}=x\implies 36\frac{2}{3}=x

Answer:

36\dfrac{2}{3} g of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that 5 g of sugar represents 12%, let's denote the required amount of water as x g. The total syrup weight is therefore x + 5 g. Consequently, we have:

5 g corresponds to 12%;

x + 5 g accounts for 100%.

This leads to a proportion:

\dfrac{5}{x+5}=\dfrac{12}{100}\Rightarrow 500=12(x+5),\ 500=12x+60,\ 12x=440, \\ \\x=\dfrac{440}{12}=\dfrac{110}{3}=36\dfrac{2}{3}.

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to evaluate:

0.1m + 8 - 12n

When m=30, n=\frac{1}{4}

By substituting these values into the expression, we have:

0.1m+8-12n=0.1(30)+8-12(\frac{1}{4})\\=3+8-\frac{12}{4}\\=3+8-3\\=8

Let h units denote the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle. From the Pythagorean Theorem, we derive specific relationships involving the smaller triangle with dimensions

\cos (\alpha)=\frac{4}{2\sqrt{5} }=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5} } along with the shorter leg of the second triangle denoted as s units. Furthermore, we apply the double angle property and substitute values to arrive at the final calculation.
