Ella has to add 32.833 lbs of water to get 33.333 lbs of syrup.
<u>Solution:</u>
Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. Let x lbs be the amount of water Ella should add to get the 1.5% of syrup,


On writing the proportion,

To get 1.5% syrup Ella should add 32.833 lbs of water. The total weight of syrup is 33.333 lbs.
You use distributive property. So (5 x 2)-(5 x x)= 10 - 5x.
I’m pretty sure the answer is C. I’m not entirely sure.
Part A: W = 10x
Part B: S = 400 + 15y
Part C: 490 = 400 +15y
-400 -400
90 = 15y
6 = y, so he worked a total of 46 hours.
