Answer:

1.5gal

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

50% lemon juice + 50% lime juice is the intended mixture.

Therefore, to find quantity that would be added to 20% lemon juice and 80% lime juice, let's assume this to be x.

x of 100% and 4-x gallons of the existing 20% mix

100%x + 20%(4-x) = 50%(4)

1.00x + 0.2(4-x) = 0.5(4)

1.00x + 0.8-0.2x = 2

1.00x-0.2x = 2-0.8

0.8x = 1.2

× = 1.5gal.

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

1.5 gallons of 100% lemon juice added to 2.5 gallons of 20% lemon juice + 80% lime juice to make 4 gallons of the 50% lemon/50% lime juice mixture.

1.5 gallons of 100% lemon juice

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we note

Desired concentration = 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

Available concentration = 100% lemon juice and 20% lemon juice and 80% lime juice

To make  4 gallons of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice Milo requires

20 per 100 lemon requires 60 parts of pure lemon to make 160 parts of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

100 requires 60 to make 160

100/160 requires 60/160 to make one part of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

That is 5/8 gallon of 20 % lemon requires 3/8 gallon of pure lemon to make 1 gallon of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

That is 2.5 gallons of 20 % lemon requires 1.5 gallons of pure lemon to make 4 gallons of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

Milo should add 1.5 gallons of 100% lemon juice to 2.5 gallons of a juice mixture that is 20% lemon juice and 80% lime juice to make 4 gallons of the 50% lemon/50% lime juice mixture

Why are the factors in your multiplication sentences in a different order​
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

In multiplication, the order doesn't matter.

2 rows of 7 and 7 rows of 2 is the same.

If you have seven 2's, that's the same as two 7's.

See here:

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14

7 + 7 = 14

Or:

2 * 7 = 7 * 2 = 14

3. Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (24, 25) and is
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

y=-1/3x + 33

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by writing this in point slope form and converting to slope intercept later. Since the slope of the perpendicular line is y=3x-30, this line must have a slope of -1/3. It's point slope form is therefore:

y-25=-1/3(x-24)

Now, you can convert to slope intercept by isolating y:

y=-1/3(x-24)+25

y=-1/3x+8+25

y=-1/3x+33

Hope this helps!
