Answer:

He needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 1.25 lbs of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x lbs be the amount of sugar in the syrup. Then 5-x lbs is the amount of water in this syrup.

Note

5 lbs - 100%

x lbs - 75%

Write a proportion:

\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{100}{75}

Cross multiply:

100x=5\cdot 75\\ \\100x=375\\ \\x=\dfrac{375}{100}=3.75

So, he needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 5 - 3.75 = 1.25 lbs of water.

What is the approximate Probability of drawing a Black OR Face Card from a standard deck of shuffled cards?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cards in a standard deck = 52

Number of black cards = 26

Number of face cards = 12

Probability of drawing either a black or face card

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(drawing a black card or face card) = (number of black cards / total card) + (number of face cards / total cards)

= 26/52 + 12 /52

= 0.5 + 0.2307692

= 0.73
