Answer 1

Answer: There is 3.75 lbs of sugar and 1.25 lbs of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pounds of sugar to make 75% syrup be x

Since we have given that

Amount of sugar syrup = 5 lb

According to question,

$\frac{x}{5}=\frac{75}{100}\\\\\frac{x}{5}=0.75\\\\x=0.75\times 5\\\\x=3.75\ lbs$

Hence, there is 3.75 lbs of sugar and amount of water is given by

$5-3.75\\\\=1.25\ lbs$

Hence, there is 3.75 lbs of sugar and 1.25 lbs of water.
