Answer:

3/5x+3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by adding the x values together. This is easy because they have the same base (5). Since one is 2/5 and the other is 1/5, the sum is 3/5. This next part with the x-free fractions is fairly easy, if you recognize that 5/8 and -1/4 can be changed so that they have the same base. Simply multiply both the numerator and denominator of -1/4 by 2, which gives you -2/8. Then subtract this from 5/8, and get 3/8.

Hope this helped :)

Tennessee Whisky contains 40% alcohol; how many ml of whiskey can be produced with 80ml of alcohol?

anygoal [31]

well we know that we have 80mL and we also know that those 80mL will represent the "solute" or the 40% of the Tennessee whiskey total which we can say is 100%, so if 80 is the 40%, how much will it be for the 100% in mL?

$\begin{array}{ccll}mL&\%\\\cline{1-2}80&40\\x&100\end{array}\implies \cfrac{80}{x}=\cfrac{40}{100}\implies \cfrac{80}{x}=\cfrac{2}{5}\implies 400=2x\\\\\\ \cfrac{400}{2}=x\implies \underset{mL}{200}=x$
