Answer:The fraction of the cupcakes that Ron have left to take home is 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total amount of cupcakes that Ron brought to school. By the end of the day, 5/8 of the cupcakes were gone. This means that the total mount of cupcakes that Ron had already shared is 5/8 × x = 5x/8.

The amount of cupcakes left would be x - 5x/8 = (8x - 5x)/8 = 3x/8

The fraction of the cupcakes that Ron have left to take home would be the amount that he has left divided by the initial amount. It becomes

(3x/8)/x = 3x/8 × 1/x = 3/8

Bob needs to mix 5 cups of liquid lemonade concentrate with 2.5 cups of water to make lemonade. Bob has 2.5 cups of liquid lemon
Julli [10]

Answer:

3.75 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

5 cups of liquid lemonade concentrate is mixed with 2.5 cups of water to make lemonade

5 cups of lemonade = 2.5 cups of water

Ratio :

5 / 2.5

For 2.5 cups of lemonade :

5 / 2.5 = 0.5

Multiply :

5 / 2.5 * 0.5 / 0.5

2.5 / 1.25

Hence, 2.5 cups + 1.25 cups = 3.75 cups of lemonade will be made with 2.5 cups of liquid lemonade concentrate
