Answer:
3:7
Step-by-step explanation:
So to solve this problem, you have to understand what the ratio 1:4 and 2:3 means. The 1:4 ratio in the first equation means that for "each unit of alcohol" there is 4 of those units of water. So let's say I had 2 gallons of alcohol and mixed it with 8 gallons of water. This means for each gallon of alcohol, there is 4 gallons of water, or in other words a 1:4 ratio. This can be described as a percentage as well. For each 5 gallons there are 4 gallons of water, and 1 gallon of alcohol or <em>20%</em> is alcohol. So let's just say that x=alcohol and y=water, this means that: 
where c is the total amount in the glass. This means that: 
Let's do the same thing to the second equation. the ratio means that for every 2 units of alcohol there are 3 units of water. This means for every 5 gallons of the mixture there is 2 units of alcohol which is 40%. In this case let's also say that j=alcohol and k=water. This means that: 
and that: 
.
So if we're going to add the two glasses, we simply add the two sides, and get: 
. Now remember how can can express j and x in terms of c, since it's a certain percentage of c (the entire thing). This means that we get: 
Now we can add like terms to get the equation: 
. We can find how much 0.6c is to 2c by dividing the 2, in doing so we get that 0.6c/2c = 0.3, or in other words the 0.6c is only 30% of the final mixture, and since the 0.6c represents the alcohol in this mixture, that means that's the percentage of alcohol. To write this as a ratio, this means for every 3 units of alcohol, there is 7 units of water, because 3/10 = 30%.
Answer:
20 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
2 times = +1 dollars for Paula, +0.50 dollars for Jacki
Try multiplying it the least amount of times to Paula can have more and so 20 times and Paula will have 20 dollar sand Jacki will have 19.75, therefore she needs to do 20 laps.

Answer:
( 400-x)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Total chocolate chips Savannah had = 400
Number of chocolate chips she saved for garnishing =x
Number of chocolate chips remain = 400-x
Number of brownie pans = 3
Chocolate chips were spread evenly in 3 pans,
Chocolate chips were in each pan of brownies =( 400-x)/3
x will represent the first unknow number
6x will represent the second number
the two numbers together will equal 21
6x + x = 21 combine like terms
7x =21 divide both sides by 7
x =3
Hope that helps.
