Answer:
38 or 38.33 cups of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need 5 cups of water for every 3 ounces of medication. We can set up a proportion: #oz of medication/#cups of water= #oz of medication/# cups of water. We can plug in some numbers from the problem.
3/5=23/n. You can use any variable, but I'm using n for how many cups of water Jim will need for 23 ounces of medication.
We can cross multiply: 3*n=5*23.
3n=115
We divide both sides by 3.
n=38.3333333.......
Rounding to the nearest whole number, Jim will need 38 cups of water, or 38.33 cups if you're rounding to the nearest hundredth.
Hope this helps :)
number 1 is wrong instead of 15 its 25, number 2 is correct.
Answer:
204/100 = 51/25= 2 1/25 that is the answer
16.4041995 rounding that would be 16 rounding to the nearest hundredth would be 16.400 (or 16.4) yards.
