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,

\Rightarrow0.5\text{ lbs }- 1.5\%

\Rightarrow x+0.5\text{ lbs }- 100\%

On writing the proportion,

\Rightarrow\dfrac{0.5}{x+0.5}=\dfrac{1.5}{100}\\ \\\Rightarrow0.5\cdot 100=(x+0.5)\cdot 1.5\\ \\\Rightarrow50=1.5x+0.75\\ \\\Rightarrow1.5x=50-0.75\\ \\\Rightarrow1.5x=49.25\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{49.25}{1.5}\approx 32.833\ lbs

To get 1.5% syrup Ella should add 32.833 lbs of water. The total weight of syrup is 33.333 lbs.

leva [86]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

In function notation, f(x) equals the y value and the x equals the x value. So this question is asking you to find the value of y when x=-2. To do this find -2 on the graph and find the point with the same x value, then find what value of y it is on. In this case, f(-2)=2.
