Yes, percent is a number.
we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.

<span>miles per gallon uses ratios. Say your car was doing 80 miles for 4 hours. You would have the ratio 80;4 and you need to find the miles per 1 hour</span>
The answer to your question would be 2.

Answer:
Sketch the following three graphs:
1) y = (x - 5)²
2) y = -(x - 5)²
3) y = x - 5
First two are parabolas with vertex at (5,0)
Third one is a line which intersects both the parabolas as (5,0)
