Answer:

5.6 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take x gallons of 25% grape juice then it will contain \frac{x}{4} gallons of pure grape juice.

Again, if we take y gallons of 75% grape juice then it will contain \frac{3y}{4} gallons of pure grape juice.

If we mix them then the total volume will become x + y = 7 gallons  ...... (1)

Again the mixture will become 35% juice.

So, \frac{\frac{x}{4} +\frac{3y}{4} }{x+y} =\frac{35}{100}

⇒ 0.25x + 0.75y = 0.35x + 0.35y

⇒0.1x = 0.4y

⇒x = 4y........ (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, 5y = 7, ⇒ y = 1.4 gallons

Hence, x = 4y = 5.6 gallons

Therefore, the 25% grape juice was mixed by 5.6 gallons. (Answer)

Masteriza [31]

In this question , we have to write an arithmetic expression that calculates the average of 18 and 46.

TO find the average, we have to add the numbers and divide by 2.

So here we have to add 18 and 46 and divide by 2, that is

d = \frac{18+46}{2} = \frac{64}{2}

And that's the required algebraic expression .
