Hm i think it might be 2:8?
Answer:
50 gallons of red
30 gallons of blue
Step-by-step explanation:
5 parts of the whole must be red, 3 parts of the whole must be blue, and there are 5+3=8 parts in total.
therefore, 1 part = 80/8 = 10 gallons
red : 5 parts
5×10 = 50 gallons
blue : 3 parts
3×10 = 30 gallons
Cost of Lightbulb = x
cost of switch is x-8
9x + 4(x-8) = 520.50
Use distributive property:
9x + 4x -32 = 520.50
Simplify:
13x -32 = 520.50
Add 32 to both sides:
13x = 552.50
Divide both sides by 13
X = 42.50
A lightbulb costs $42.50
A switch costs 42.50-8 = $34.50
There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. You can solve this problem using these proportions:

It states that there are 8 fluid ounces in every 1 cup and 144 fluid ounces in every <em>x </em>cups. We have to solve for <em>x </em>using cross-multiplication:

Vickie can fill 18 1 cup candle molds with 144 fluid ounces of scented candle wax.
