Step-by-step explanation:
Whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.
the syrup is going to be 5lbs total, that includes the sugar in it as well as the water mix.
keeping in mind that the syrup will be a 1.5% syrup, namely 1.5% of it will be sugar, the rest just water then, how much is 1.5% of 5?
well, is just(1.5/100) * 5 or 0.075, namely lbs.
so, 0.075 lbs will be sugar and the rest water, the rest will be 5 - 0.075, or 4.925 lbs.
Hi!
We are given the information found in the picture below.
Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.
The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.
To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where 
and 
are 2 legs of the triangle, and 
is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:
We know and and want
Therefore, is approximately 
The mean can be found by adding the two numbers and dividing by 2
let the second number be y
(x + y)/2 = 1/2x + 1
solve for y
multiply each side by 2
x + y = 2(1/2x + 1)
distribute
x + y = x + 2
subtract x on both sides
y = 2
ANSWER: the second number is 2
