Answer:

There are 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

We know that of the punch, 80% is cranberry juice.

Let's call Z the amount of cranberry juice and Y is the amount of ginger ale.

Let's call X the amount of Ponche

The amount of punch is equal to the amount of cranberry juice plus the amount of ginger ale

X = Z + Y (i)

Then we know that:

Z = 0.8X  (ii)

We also know that:

Y = 2 liters (iii)

Part B.

Now we can solve the equation:

Replace (ii) and (iii) in (i)

X = 0.8X + 2

X - 0.8X = 2

X(1-0.8) = 2

X = \frac{2}{1-0.8}

X = 10 liters.

Now we substitute X = 10 in equation (ii) and find the amount of Cranberry juice.

Z = 0.8(10)

Z = 8 liters.

There are 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch

Seating reads 1/12 part of a book in a day. If there are 360 pages in a book, how many pages does swati read in a day?
makvit [3.9K]

Given:

Total number of pages in a book = 360 pages

Fraction of pages Swati reads = \frac{1}{12}

To find:

Number of pages Swati reads in a day

Steps:

Since we know the fraction of pages Swati reads each day, we can multiply the fraction with the total pages to find the number of pages read each day.

=360 * \frac{1}{12}

= \frac{360 * 1}{12}

=\frac{360}{12}

=\frac{180}{6}

=\frac{90}{3}

=\frac{30}{1}

= 30

Therefore, Swati reads 30 pages of the 360 pages per day.
