Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Step 1: Determine quantity per liquid</em>
liquid 1=7/8 cup
liquid 2=9/10 cup
<em>Step 2: Derive expression to calculate total amount of mixture</em>
The expression below can be derived;
T=a+b
where;
T=total amount of mixture
a=total amount of liquid 1
b=total amount of liquid 2
In our case;
a=7/8 cup
b=9/10 cup
replacing;
T=(7/8)+(9/10)=1 31/40 cups
The total amount of mixture=1 31/40 cups
<u>Answer:</u>
The length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. If a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches then the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that the length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. Directly propotional means when the length of paper clip increases, then the number of paper clips also increases in same ratio.
Hence, by above definition, we get
------- eqn 1
From question, for a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches, we get

Similarly, for a chain with 14 paper clips with length to be found, we get

Now by using eqn 1, we can calculate the length of 14 paper clips is,

Rearranging the terms we get,


Hence the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.
