With a problem like this, set up a proportion (like when making lemonade from a mix).
is our proportion.
We fill in the the two weights and the 24 grams of medicine in the proportion and solve for the fourth piece not there.
We shorten medicine to M and we solve for M by cross multiplying.
The woman should get 19.2 grams of medicine.
Solve for x:
10 (x + 2) = 5 (x + 8)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
10 x + 20 = 5 (x + 8)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
10 x + 20 = 5 x + 40
Subtract 5 x from both sides:
(10 x - 5 x) + 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 40
10 x - 5 x = 5 x:
5 x + 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 40
5 x - 5 x = 0:
5 x + 20 = 40
Subtract 20 from both sides:
5 x + (20 - 20) = 40 - 20
20 - 20 = 0:
5 x = 40 - 20
40 - 20 = 20:
5 x = 20
Divide both sides of 5 x = 20 by 5:
(5 x)/5 = 20/5
5/5 = 1:
x = 20/5
The gcd of 20 and 5 is 5, so 20/5 = (5×4)/(5×1) = 5/5×4 = 4:
Answer: x = 4

11. The negative 8 had to go to the positive 3. You add 8 automatically to get yourself to 0. Once you do that you add three to make them the same to find the distance. The answer is 11.
