If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio:

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication, so that's what I'll show you here:

Finally, solve for x:

If you had 100 balloons, you will have
40 yellow balloons.

There really is no ‘best stock’ to invest in. But some good stocks to invest in are Amazon, Disney, and Apple. All are companies that have had tremendous growth and appear to still be growing. You can also go onto Yahoo finance, they will tell you whether they think the stock is over priced and you can also see the growth pattern over time.
Hope this helps! Please make me the brainliest, it’s not necessary but appreciated, I put a lot of effort and research into my answers. Have a good day, stay safe and stay healthy.
Answer:
Maria
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the ratio of powdered mix to water for each drink.
For Maria:

= 1/3 cup per gallon
For Franco:

= (5/4 cup) / (5 gallon)
= 1/4 cup per gallon
Since 1/3 is bigger than 1/4, Maria's sports drink is stronger.
