For this problem, I'd use cross-multiplication.
9/12 = x/8.
When cross multiplying, multiply 12*x and 9*8. This leads to a new equation:
12x = 72.
Then you solve as an algebra problem.
*Divide 12 on both sides*
x = 6.
The answer is 64,097,343,225
Answer:
D. $70

Hope this helps :D
I cant see the model but 2/3 is the same as 4/6
Work in amount of pure acid let x = gallons of pure acid required.
then we have the equation:-
x + 55(0.6) = 0.80(x + 55)
x + 33 = 0.80x + 44
0.20x = 11
x = 11/0.2 = 55 gallons answer
