Answer:
1 1/8 or 9/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion. The proportion will be teaspoons of chili powder over pound of vegetables.
The first proportion will be..
x is 3/4 and y is 1/2. Across from that proportion make another one
x is "n" because you're trying to figure out how much chili powder you need. y is 1 3/4.
Multiply 3/4 and 1 3/4, which is 9/16. Then, divide 9/16 and 1/2, which is 9/8. Simplify it to 1 1/8, and Maxwell will need 1 1/8 teaspoons of chili powder.
Hope this wasn't too confusing :)
Answer:
6 L
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two solutions:
1st solution is 90% saline solution. Let the volume of this solution be litres.
2nd solution is 50% saline solution. Volume of this solution = 4 L
Resultant solution is 74% saline.
To find:
The volume of 1st solution = ?
Solution:
Total volume of the 74% saline mixture = (4+) Litres
We can write equation here, as per the percentage of saline in the mixtures.
90% of L + 50% of 4 L = 74% of (
+4)
Therefore, the volume must be <em>6 L</em>.
