Answer: 6 and 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we first leave 5/2 alone so don't do anything to it.

For our second fraction, we want to switch the numerator and the

denominator which means find the reciprocal of it.

The reciprocal of 2/5 is just the opposite of it when

you flip it and it's going to be 5/2.

Because we did the opposite there, we need to do the opposite

of division and the opposite of division is multiplication.

So now we have 5/2 × 5/2 which is 25/4 or 6 and 1/4.

How much sugar syrup would you get by Making 5% sugar syrup using 6g sugar?

kherson [118]

Answer: 120 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of sugar syrup made by 5% sugar syrup using 6g sugar.

Also, 5% =0.05

Therefore, 5% sugar syrup =5% of x = 0.05x

According to the question, we have

$0.05x=6\\\text{Divide 0.05 on the both sides we get}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{6}{0.05}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{600}{5}\\\Rightarrow\ x=120$

Hence, 120 grams sugar syrup is made by 5% sugar syrup of 6g sugar.
