5/7 = x/42
5/1 = x/6
X = 30
The answer is 2 gallons of syrup per batch.
Multiply (x/6) by 6 to get common denominators and then you can simplify equation to 6x=15, divide each side by 6 answer is x=2.5 or 5/2
I think it’s 311.75?
i added the closing balances and divided by the 4 selected days
either that or 44.54 if you divide by 28 days of February instead…
i might be wrong though
