Assume that the larger number is m and the smaller one is n.
the larger is 10 less than twice the smaller, this means that:
m = 2n-10
the sum of the two is 38, this means that:
m+n = 38
substitute by the first equation in the second one:
2n-10+n=38
3n=48
n= 16
substitute by n in the first equation:
m=2n-10=2(16)-10= 22

based on this,
the larger number is 22 while the smaller number is 16

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

a) 18 quarts of sparkling water

b) 1.875 quarts of grape

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 2 Fill in the blanks to complete the sentence.

A recipe for sparkling grape juice calls for 1 1/2 quarts of sparkling water and 3/4 quart of grape juice.

a. How much sparkling water would you need to mix with 9 quarts of grape juice?

3/4 quarts of grape = 1 1/2 quarts sparkling water

9 quarts of grape = x

x = (9 × 1 1/2) ÷ 3/4

x = (9 × 3/2) × 4/3

x = 27/2 × 4/3

x = 18 quarts of sparking water

b. How much grape juice would you need to mix with 15/4 quarts of sparkling water?

1 1/2 quarts of sparkling water = 3/4 quarts of grape

1 5/4 quarts of sparkling water = x

x = (3/4 × 15/4 ) ÷ 1 1/2

x = (0.75 × 3.75 ) ÷ 1.5

x = 1.875 quarts of grape

c. How much of each ingredient would you need to make 100 quarts of punch?

Round your answer to the nearest whole quart. sparkling water: quarts grape juice: quarts
