Can someone answer this question please?

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore we need 475 milliliter of Compound A

and we need 760 milliliter of compound B.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let x be the number of milliliters of compound A

ii) let y be the number of milliliters of compound B

iii) It is also given that x  = $\frac{5}{8}$ y

iv) therefore x  + y = 1235 milliliters

v) therefore  $\frac{5}{8}$ y + y = $\frac{13}{8}$y = 1235 $\Rightarrow$ y = 760 milliliter

vi) therefore x  = 1235 - 760 = 475 milliliter

Therefore we need 475 milliliter of Compound A

and we need 760 milliliter of compound B.
