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.

Solve the equation and check the solution.
myrzilka [38]

A - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2

Solve for A by adding 2 1/2 to both sides:

A = 1 1/2 + 2 1/2

A = 4

The answer is c. A = 4

Check: 4 - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2

Can a Scalene triangle be a isosceles triangle?<br><br> A: Always<br> B: Never<br> C: Sometimes
arsen [322]
A scalene triangle can never be an isosceles triangle. How? Well, let's take a look at the definition of a scalene triangle. In short, a scalene triangle is a classification of a triangle that does not have any congruent sides. On the other hand, an isosceles triangle is a triangle in which its legs are both congruent. Therefore, if a scalene triangle has two congruent legs, it wouldn't even be a scalene triangle, but instead it would be an isosceles triangle. Hope this helped!
