Answer:
In order to use all the paint in a paint mixture in the same ratio of 1:5, the painter needs 2.4 ounces of paint thinner
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The number of parts of thinner used to create 5 parts of paint mixture = 1 part
The amount of paint the painter has = 12 ounces
The amount of thinner is given by the relation;
Ratio of thinner to paint mixture = 1:5
Which gives, 1 part of thinner is required for 5 parts of paint mixture
1/5 parts of thinner is required for 1 part of paint mixture
Therefore, 12/5 or 2.4 parts of thinner will be required for 12 parts of paint mixture
Which gives;
2.4 ounces of thinner will be required for 12 ounces of paint mixture
Therefore, in order to use all the paint in a paint mixture in the same ratio of 1:5, the painter needs 2.4 ounces of thinner.
Let us assume number of toppings = n
Total weight of sundae = s
Quantity of Ice cream = 2 kilograms.
We need to discribe the total weight of the special sundae in kilograms by an inequality.
The sundae contains ice cream and number of toppings.
So the total weight of the sundae will be greater than the total weight of ice cream and number of toppings, because there would be some weight of the packing.
Therefore,
The total weight of the sundae > total weight of ice cream + weight of toppings.
s > 2 + n.
Where, s is the total weight of the sundae and n is the weight of toppings. I hope this was helpful!. :)
Could you maybe show the table, that way it would be easier to solve it, please.
I don’t know what that says but free points for meeeee
