when you multiply a number by 5 and then by 2, it is the same as multiplying by 10. Multiplying by by 10 means you add a zero to the end of the number so the digit in the ones column will always be zero
So the ratio is 1 to 2 to 5
so basically 1 unit of soda water to 2 units of fruit punch to 5 units of ginger ale
total is 1+2+5=8 units
so 4 gallons=8 units
divide by 8
1/2 gallon=1 unit
soda water=1 unit=1/2 gallon
fruit punch=2 unit=1/2 times 2=1 gallon
ginger ale=5 unit=5 times 1/2=5/2=2 and 1/2 gallon
soda water=1/2 gallon
fruit punch concentrate=1 gallon
ginger ale=5/2 gallon or 2 and 1/2 gallon
Answer:
Mixed number: 8.72=8 72/100
Improper fraction: 8.72= 872/100
Step-by-step explanation:
8 is in the ones place, 7 is in the tenths place, and 2 is in the hundreths place, which makes 8.72. In fractions, that would be 8 wholes, and 72/100, which is 8 72/100. After that, you can turn it into an improper fraction by doing 8x100, which is 800, then you add 72, which is 872. That makes 872 the numerator, and 100 the denominator, which makes 872/100.
Btw (I didn't simplify, as the problem states against it!)
