3 drops : 4 pints = x drops : 16 pints
3drops/4pints = x/16pints
(3drops/4pints)*16pints = x
*cancel pints unit*
(3drops/4)*16 = x
(16*3)drops/4 = x
48 drops / 4 = x
12 drops = x (ANSWER)
Answer:
We would use the explicit formula since the explicit formula is used for finding the nth term in a sequence. The reason why it's <em>not </em>the recursive is because the recursive formula helps you find the next terms using a formula of the preceding term or term before the next term.
The sum of the percentages of milk and dark chocolate needs to equal 100%.
Since dark chocolate is 25%, then milk chocolate must be 75%
Now we can set up a proportion:
75% = 3 lbs
25% = X lbs
Dark chocolate = (3 x 25%) / (75% x X) = 1 lb
