Answer:
3:7
Step-by-step explanation:
So to solve this problem, you have to understand what the ratio 1:4 and 2:3 means. The 1:4 ratio in the first equation means that for "each unit of alcohol" there is 4 of those units of water. So let's say I had 2 gallons of alcohol and mixed it with 8 gallons of water. This means for each gallon of alcohol, there is 4 gallons of water, or in other words a 1:4 ratio. This can be described as a percentage as well. For each 5 gallons there are 4 gallons of water, and 1 gallon of alcohol or <em>20%</em> is alcohol. So let's just say that x=alcohol and y=water, this means that: 
where c is the total amount in the glass. This means that: 
Let's do the same thing to the second equation. the ratio means that for every 2 units of alcohol there are 3 units of water. This means for every 5 gallons of the mixture there is 2 units of alcohol which is 40%. In this case let's also say that j=alcohol and k=water. This means that: 
and that: 
.
So if we're going to add the two glasses, we simply add the two sides, and get: 
. Now remember how can can express j and x in terms of c, since it's a certain percentage of c (the entire thing). This means that we get: 
Now we can add like terms to get the equation: 
. We can find how much 0.6c is to 2c by dividing the 2, in doing so we get that 0.6c/2c = 0.3, or in other words the 0.6c is only 30% of the final mixture, and since the 0.6c represents the alcohol in this mixture, that means that's the percentage of alcohol. To write this as a ratio, this means for every 3 units of alcohol, there is 7 units of water, because 3/10 = 30%.
A simple answer is that any given trapezoid with height h and length of the parallel lines a and b, is half of a parallelogram with an area of (a+b) x h. Since the trapezoid is half of this, it is h(a+b)/2
JK = MN because of Given
∠JLK = ∠MLN because of the vertical angle theorem
JL = LN because of definition of midpoint
ΔJLK = MLN because of SAS
∠K = ∠N because corresponding angles of congruent triangles are congruent.

Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/3 divided by 3/5 = -5/9
-2/9 - -5/9 = 1/3
