Answer:

<h2>3.5 gallons of water.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, water and lemon have the ratio 7:1, 7 parts of water per 1 part of lemon.

Also, we know that one gallon have four quarts, and we want to make 1 gallon of lemonade. So, the amount of water would be x, because the question is about water, and the amount of lemonade would be 4 \ quarts - x, because it would be the difference between the total 4 quarts (1 gallon) and the amount of water.

Now, using the ratios, we have:

\frac{7 \ water}{1 \ lemon}=\frac{x \ water}{4 - x \ lemon} \\28-7x=x\\7x+x=28\\8x=28\\x=\frac{28}{8}=3.5

Therefore, the amount of water needed is 3.5 gallons, and 0.5 gallons of lemon.

In order to solve this problem, we need our knowledge on ratio and proportion for us to set up an equation. <span>A </span>proportion<span> is an equation with a </span>ratio<span> on each side. It is a statement that two </span>ratios<span> are equal. </span>We do as follows:

7 parts water / 1 part lemon = 4 quarts - x / x

where x is the quarts lemon needed

Solving for x,

x = 0.5
water needed = 4-x = 3.5 quarts water is needed

Shawna, Dexter, and Tilana are solving the equation -2.5(5-n)+2=15. Shawna says, “I can begin by dividing each side of the equat
laila [671]
Hi!
Shawna is correct because since it's multiplied to the  5-n you have to do the opposite which is division. 
Dexter is also correct because after distributing you can continue solving, there is nothing wrong with that. 
Hope this helps!

A certain insect can beat its wings 120 times per second write an equation in slope intercept from that shows the relationship b
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The relationship between flying time in seconds in the number of times the insect beats its wings:

  • y = 120x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the rate of change or slope
  • b is the y-intercept

In our case,

Let 'x' be the flying time in seconds

Ley 'y' be the number of times the insect beats its wings

Given that a certain insect can beat its wings 120 times per second.

It indicates that the rate of change or slope = m = 120

In our case the y-intercept b = 0, as there is no initial condition mentioned here.

Now, substituting m = 120 and b = 0 in the slope-intercept form

y = mx+b

y = 120x+0

y = 120x

Therefore, the relationship between flying time in seconds in the number of times the insect beats its wings:

  • y = 120x
