Answer:

64/3 tablespoons of sugar for 32 ounces of water

Step-by-step explanation:

In these kinds of questions it is nice to find how muc of 1 thing there is for every ONE of another. so 8 tablespoons of sugar for 12 ouncesof water you can divide both sides by 8 or 12.

Dividing it by 8 gets 8/8 = 1 tablespoon of sugar for 12/8 = 1.5 ounces of water.

Dividing by 12 gets 8/12 = 2/3 tablespoon of sugar for 12/12 = 1 ounce of water.

Now you can take one or the other and multiply it to fit whichever you want to fit a ratio.

It asks what happens if you use 32 ounces of water, so lets use the ratio where we hae 1 ounce, then multiply everything by 32.

2/3 tablespoon of sugar for 1 ounce of water

Multiply by 32 and you get 32*(2/3) = 64/3 tablespoons of sugar for 32 ounces of water

There are 16 pink jelly beans.
There are 16+34+24+26=100 jelly beans in total.

$P=\frac{16}{100}=16\% = \frac{4 \times 4}{25 \times 4}=\frac{4}{25}$

The probability is 4/25, or 16%.

Nancy has a freshwater aquarium at home. She buys goldfish four more than twice the number of platies she bought last Sunday. Sh

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that Nancy bought 'p' numbers of platies. The question says, she buys goldfish, 4 more than twice the number of platies.

So, 4 more than twice of 'p' can be written as,

$2p+4$ that is the number of goldfish she bought. Let 'g' represent the number of goldfish. So we have,

$g=2p+4$

She also buys 2 black mollies and a few guppies that amounted to one quarter of the total number of goldfish she bought. Let 'x' represent the number of guppies, so we have,

$x= \frac{1}{4} (2p+4)$
