To find out how much you need when you need a fraction of a number like 1/3 of 9, you can multiply the whole number by the fraction in most cases.

In some cases however, you can convert the whole number into a fraction and then divide it to get the amount in fractional units that you require.

For example:

1/3 of 9

Convert 9 to a fraction.

1/3 / 9/1

1/3 x 9/1 = 3/9

Therefore you would need 3 of 9 for 1/3.

<h2>19.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • window width and height are in proportion to building width and height
  • window width and height are 11 in and 18 in, respectively
  • building height is 108 ft
<h3>Find</h3>
  • building width
<h3>Solution</h3>

The proportional relation can be written as

... (building width)/(building height) = (window width)/(window height)

Multiplying by (building height) gives

... (building width) = (building heigh) × (window width)/(window height)

... (building width) = 108 ft × (11 in)/(18 in)

... building width = 66 ft

<h2>21.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • map distance = 6.75 in
  • map scale = 1.5 in : 5 mi
<h3>Find</h3>
  • actual distance
<h3>Solution</h3>

The distances are in proportion, so

... (map distance) : (actual distance) = 1.5 in : 5 mi

Multiplying by (5 mi)/(1.5 in)×(actual distance), we have

... (5 mi)/(1.5 in)×(6.75 in) = (actual distance) = 22.5 mi

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. How much water should she add to make the following concentrations? Tell Ella how much syrup she will
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1) 2 lbs

2) 0.17 lbs

3) 9.5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of sugar Ella has = 0.5 lbs

Let the amount of water she adds to make the solution = x lbs

So total amount of the mixture would be = (x + 0.5) lbs

Case 1: 20% syrup

20% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 20% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 20% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 20% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.2(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.2, we get:

2.5 = x + 0.5

x = 2 lbs

This means, 2 lbs of water should be added to make 20% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 2.5 lbs.

Case 2: 75% syrup

75% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 75% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 75% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 75% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.75(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.75, we get:

0.67 = x + 0.5

x = 0.17 lbs

This means, 0.17 lbs of water should be added to make 75% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 0.67 lbs.

Case 3: 5% syrup

5% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 5% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 5% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 5% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.05(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.05, we get:

10 = x + 0.5

x = 9.5 lbs

This means, 9.5 lbs of water should be added to make 5% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 10 lbs.
