To answer this item, let x be the amount of water. The concentration (in % sugar) of the solution is calculated by dividing the amount of sugar by the total amount. That is,
C = (S/ (S + x))(100%)
Substituting the known values to the equation,
75 = ((0.5/(0.5 + x))(100%)
The value of x from the equation is 0.167.
<em>Answer: 0.167 lbs of water</em>

Answer:
62
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a line from the bottom of the 4 foot line straight across (horizontally) until it hits the vertical line on your left.
The two lines (the one you drew and the left vertical line) meet at right angles.
The upper figure is a rectangle.
Area = L * W
L = 5
W = 4
Area = 5 * 4
Area = 20
Now the bottom rectangle can be found the same way.
Area = L * W
L = 14
W = 3
Area = 14 * 3
Area = 42
The total area = 42 + 20
Total area = 62.
The comment was correct.
He spoke to each friends for 26 minutes
How I found out : how I found out is that all you have to do it get the total amount which in this question it is going to be 182. And you would need to dive 182 by 7 to find the unit rate (182/7) which is going to equal 26.which means he called each friend for 26 minutes
If you dont follow the right steps in the right order or properly, you won't end up with the right answer:
For example 3 x 5 + 7
If you do multiplication then add you get 22 which is correct.... but!!
If you add then do multiplication you get 36 which isn't right
Remember always follow PEMDAS
