Answer:

  1.25 gallons of alcohol

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of alcohol to add to the mix. Then the total amount of alcohol in the mix is ...

  0.15×20 + x = 0.20×(20 +x)

  3 +x = 4 + 0.2x . . . . simplify

  0.8x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . add -3-0.2x

  x = 1/0.8 = 1.25 . . . . divide by 0.8

1.25 gallons of alcohol should be added to make 21.25 gallons of 20% alcohol.

Frank mary and seth shared some sweets in the ratio 4:5:7 seth got 18 more sweets than frank
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

each number in the ratio 4:5:7 is worth 6 sweets. add 4,5, and 7 to get 16 then multiply it by 6 to get 96 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

add the ratios = 4+5+7= 16

1 number = 6 so

4x6= 24

5x6=30

7x6=42

Frank gets 24 sweets

Mary gets 30 sweets

Seth gets 42 sweets

The total number of sweets they shared is 24+30+42= 96

The share 96 sweets altogether.

The check your answer; do 42-24= 18

Therefore, now we know that the difference between Seth and Frank's amount of sweets is 18.

Therefore, this is correct.
