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

On Planet Galactica, common units of distance are alpha, beta, and gamma. 4 gammas equal 5 betas. 2 betas equal 3 alphas. How ma
Ghella [55]

Answer:

1 gamma = 15/8 alphas

Step-by-step explanation:

so we start by finding out what 1 gamma and 1 beta equals.

we know 4 gammas = 5 betas so if we divide by four on both sides we get:

1 gamma = 5/4 betas. we can apply that same procedure to 2 betas = 3 alphas and get 1 beta = 3/2 alphas

we know that 1 gamma = 5/4 betas and 1 beta = 3/2 alphas so how many alphas = 5/4 betas? using a proportion of ((3/2)/1) = ((x)/(5/4)) we can find that 5/4 betas = 15/8 alphas

therefore we know 1 gamma = 15/8 alphas or 1 and 7/8 alphas

It’s not “analyzes the paper topic” I got it wrong in Edgeunity it should be “explains the papers topic”
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer for the first question is, what does the audience want to know? She wants the audience to know that she is preparing to write an article for his school newspaper. A thesis statement is a sentence that most likely explains the papers topic and knowing the audience will help her use the right words and connotations to provide the best report to her teacher.  

(If this answers your question, could you please mark this as a Brainliest Answer? Thanks!)
