One canned juice drink is 15% orange juice; another is 5% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in orde
grandymaker [24]
F = 15%
v = 5%
0.15f + 0.05v = 0.14*10
15f + 5v = 140
3f + v = 28
f + v = 10 (total volume)
---------- Subtract
2f = 18
f = 9 liters of 15%
v = 1 liter of 5%

mary purchased 3 1/2 pounds of bananas. If the loaf of banana bread requires 3/4 pounds of bananas, how many loaves of banana br
nikklg [1K]
For this one a simple way that you can think of it is that 1 pound of banana is equivalent to 100, 3/4 pounds of banana is 75, 1/2 pounds of banana is 50, etc. 

3 1/2 pounds of banana = 350 

3/4 pounds of banana = 75 

If i want to find out how many loafs of banana bread I can make if ONE loaf requires 3/4 pounds of banana, and i have 3 1/2 pounds of banana then I divide:

350 / 75 = 4.66 

So, with 3 1/2 pounds of bananas you can successfully create 4 loafs of banana bread. the remaining .66 is not enough banana to make another loaf.
