Mon wants to make 5 lbs of the sugar syrup. How much water and how much sugar does he need to make 50% syrup?

fredd [130]

Answer:

<h2>Mon needs 2.5 pounds of sugar and 2.5 of syrup.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To make 50% syrup, having 5 pounds of sugar syrup, it would be

$\frac{x}{5}=0.5=2.5 lb$

Mon would need 2.5 pounds of sugar.

Now, Mon has 2.5 pounds of sugar, how much water does she need to make 50% syrup?

$\frac{2.5}{x+2.5}=0.5\\ 2.5=0.5(x+2.5)\\2.5=0.5x+1.25\\2.5-1.25=0.5x\\x=\frac{1.25}{0.5}=2.5$

This means that Mon needs 2.5 pounds of water too.

As you can see, the easiest way to find the answer would be to divide the initial 5 pounds in to equal parts, which are 2.5, because they syrup have to 50%.

Therefore, Mon needs 2.5 pounds of sugar and 2.5 of syrup.

A) work out (8 x 10^-3) x (2 x 10^-4). Give your answer in standard form.

mafiozo [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

$A) \\ (8 \times {10}^{ - 3} ) \times (2 \times {10}^{ - 4} ) \\ = 8 \times 2 \times {10}^{ - 3} \times {10}^{ - 4} \\ = 16 \times {10}^{ - 3 - 4} \\ = 16 \times {10}^{ - 7} \\ = 1.6 \times {10}^{ - 6} \\ \\ B) \\ (6 \times {10}^{ 2} ) \div (3\times {10}^{ - 5} ) \\ \\ = \frac{6 \times {10}^{ 2}}{3\times {10}^{ - 5}} \\ \\ = \frac{2\times {10}^{ 2}}{ {10}^{ - 5}} \\ \\ = 2 \times {10}^{ 2 + 5} \\ \\ = 2 \times {10}^{7} \\$
