We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.
A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/10=0.1
if the total sales is 26,000
the commission will be 26,000*0.1=2,600 dollars

Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways the answer to this question can be determined
<u><em>Method 1 : the fast method </em></u>
We know that 8 is twice 4
4 x 2 = 8
The ratio of diet soda = 8
the ratio of regular sodas = 4
Diet sodas = 112
the number of regular sodas = 112 / 2 = 56
<u><em>Method 2 : The long method </em></u>
I would first determine the total number of diet and regular sodas. Let the total number be represented by d
from the question, the following equation can be derived :
(8/12) x d = 112
divide both sides of the equation by 12/8 to determine the value of d
d = 112 x (12/8) = 168
We can now derive a value for the number of regular soda
regular sodas = ( ratio of regular sodas / total soda) x total number of sodas
(4/12) x 168 = 56
