Answer 1

Answer:

Zahara need to add 4 quarts of water to keep the  consistency the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the amount of dry ingredients in quarts

y -----> the mount of water in quarts

we know that

Batch 1

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{2}$

Isolate variable y

$y=\frac{2}{5}x$ ----> equation A

Batch 2

For x=10

substitute in the equation A and solve for y

$y=\frac{2}{5}(10)=4$

The ratio batch 2 is $\frac{10}{4}$

therefore

Zahara need to add 4 quarts of water to keep the  consistency the same
