She wants to serve --------- >  2 gallons of juice that is 75% orange juice and 25% pineapple juice

then 

2*0.75------------------ > 1.5 gallons of orange juice

2*0.25------------------ > 0.5 gallons of pineapple juice


2 gallons------------ >1.5 gallons of orange juice+ 0.5 gallons of pineapple juice

if 1 gallons pineapple juice mixture--------------------- > 0.40 gallons pineapple juice

X------------------------------------------------------------------- > 0.50 gallons pineapple juice

X=50/40=1.25 gallons juice mixture

1.25 mixture gallons---- > 0.50 gallons pineapple juice+0.75 gallons orange juice

Therefore

(2-1.25)=0.75 gallons of orange juice

2 gallons------------ >0.75 gallons of orange juice+ <span>1.25 mixture gallons  </span>

0.75*(p)+1.25*(m)=2--------------- > (0.75/1.25)*(p)+(1.25/1.25)*m=2/1.25

0.60p+m=1.6

 The answer is 0.60p+m=1.6

Where is the mistake in the following problem?
ololo11 [35]
1) 3/12

Because 1/3 would have changed to 4/12,
1x4= 4
3x4=12
You need to multiply them by the same number and 1) was multiplied by three on the numerator and four on the denominator.

Need help with son's homework I will give 30 points!!! Please show work
Elis [28]

Answer:

A. ⇒ The expression is b + 3

B. ⇒ The expression is 2b - 4

C. ⇒ The Dr's office is closer by 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

∵ The distance between Daniel's house and his school is b miles

∵ The swimming pool is 3 miles farther from his school

∴ The distance between Daniel's house and the swimming pool is b + 3

B.

∵ The distance from Daniel's house to his Dr's office is 4 less than twice the distance from home to Daniel's school

∵ The distance between Daniel's house and his school is b

∴ The expression of distance from Daniel's house to his Dr's office is

   2b - 4

C.

∵ b = 3

∴ The distance between his house and swimming pool is:

   3 + 3 = 6 miles

∴ The distance between his house and Dr's office is:

   2(3) - 4 = 2 miles

∴ The Dr's office is closer to Daniel's house than the swimming pool by:

   6 - 2 = 4 miles
