Answer:

8 cups disinfectant per 36 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, set up an equation of ratios:

 2/3 cup disinfectant          3 gallons water        1

--------------------------------  =  -------------------------- = -----

                x                          36 gallons water      12

Cross multiplication yields  12(2/3 cup disinfectant) = 1x, so that:

x = 8 cups

8 cups of disinfectant are needed to make a solution involving 36 cups water.

What is the value of x?<br><br> x= <br> units
attashe74 [19]
By Pythagoras theorem

RQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}
RS^{2}= x^{2} + 9^{2}

SQ^{2}= RS^{2}  + RQ^{2}
SQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}  + x^{2} + 9^{2}
SQ^{2}=2 x^{2} +256+81
25^{2}=2 x^{2} +337
625-337=2 x^{2}
288=2 x^{2}
144= x^{2}
x=12
