<h3>Answer:    410 mL </h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

The ratio of A to B is 5:3

Multiply both parts by x to get 5x:3x

We need 5x parts of A and 3x parts of B

Adding those parts should get us 656 mL total

A+B = total

5x+3x = 656

8x = 656

x = 656/8

x = 82

Therefore, we need 5x = 5*82 = 410 mL of compound A

Also, we need 3x = 3*82 = 246 mL of compound B

In total, we have A+B = 410+246 = 656 mL which helps confirm the answer.

-----------

Side note: The ratio  410:246 reduces to 5:3 after dividing both parts by 82.

The area of a regular octagon is 35 cm^2. What is the area of a regular octagon with sides five times as long?
Marat540 [252]
So... let's say the smaller regular octagon has sides of "x" long, then the larger octagon will have sides of 5x.

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccllll}&#10;&Sides&Area&Volume\\&#10;&-----&-----&-----\\&#10;\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}&#10;\end{array} \\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \cfrac{small}{large}\quad \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{x^2}{(5x)^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{x^2}{5^2x^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{\underline{x^2}}{25\underline{x^2}}}=\stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{35}{a}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{1}{25}=\cfrac{35}{a}\implies a=\cfrac{25\cdot 35}{1}
