Question

Mon wants to make 5 lbs of the sugar syrup. How much water and how much sugar does he need… b …to make 20% syrup? Answer: lbs of sugar, lbs of water

Answer 1

Answer:

Mom would required 1 lbs of Sugar and 4 lbs of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of Sugar syrup Mom wants to make = 5 lbs

Percentile amount of syrup she needs to make = 20%

Solution:

Let amount of sugar to make 20% syrup be 'x'.

So by definition of proportion we get;

$\frac {x}{5}=\frac{20}{100}$

Now Multiplying both side by 5 we get;

$\frac {x}{5}\times5=\frac{20}{100}\times5\\\\x=1\ lbs$

So we can say that;

Amount of water = $5-1=4 \ lbs$

Hence Mom would required 1 lbs of Sugar and 4 lbs of water.
