Answer:
w/2 = 7.5/5
3kg
Here's the detailed explanation:
Remaining question below:
Which proportion could Maddy utilize to solve this issue?
a. w/2 = 7.5/5
b. w/7.5 = 5/2
Solve the proportion to determine the weight of a 2 liter jug.
_____kg
A 5-liter container of sports drink weighs 7.5kg
A 2-liter jug of this drink will weigh x kg
Finding w
Ratio of weight to volume
7.5kg: 5liters translates to 7.5/5
wkg: 2 liters means w/2
Establishing equivalent ratios
7.5 / 5 = w / 2
Cross-multiplying gives
7.5*2=5*w
15=5w
Dividing both sides by 5 results in
w=3
w=3kg
Thus, the weight of the 2-liter sports drink jug is 3kg
1. 200% =2
5000 multiplied by 2 equals 10000
2.50% = 0.5
10000 multiplied by 0.5 equals 5000
The answer is C since 24-3=21, followed by 21/1.50=14
Response:
If there are "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of a mixture containing '20% peanuts and 80% almonds', then we can formulate the following equations:
p + m = 10 -----------(1) and
4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)
The solution yields 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture.
Detailed explanation:
In the mixture that Delaney desires to create, there will be
lb
= 6 lb of peanuts
Thus, there will be (10 - 6) lb
= 4 lb of almonds
If Delaney has "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of the '20% peanuts and 80% almonds' mixture, then based on the problem statement,
p + m = 10 -----------(1) and
4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)
From equation (2), we derive
m = 5 --------------(3)
From (1) and (3), we find that
p = (10 - 5) = 5
