Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The main goal in any equation is to get the unknown variable all by itself. In this case that means moving the fraction of 7/8 over to the other side of the equals sign. On the left, the fraction is being subtracted; that means that to move it to the other side, we add it since adding is the opposite of subtracting.

On the left side, if you have 7/8 and then take that 7/8 away, it's gone completely. What we have now is

We need a common denominator so we can add 4 (which is 4/1) to 7/8. 8 is the common denominator.

Answer:
1. 20% - add 2 lbs of water to get 2.5 lbs of syrup
2. 25% - add 1.5 lbs of water to get 2 lbs of syrup
3. 1.5% - add 32.833 lbs of water to get 33.333 lbs of syrup
Step-by-step explanation:
Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. Let x lbs be the amount of water Ella should add to get the syrup.
1. 20% syrup:
0.5 lbs - 20%
x+0.5 lbs - 100%
Write a proportion:

To get 20% syrup Ella should add 2 lbs of water. The total weight of strup is 2.5 lbs.
2. 25% syrup:
0.5 lbs - 25%
x+0.5 lbs - 100%
Write a proportion:

To get 25% syrup Ella should add 1.5 lbs of water. The total weight of strup is 2 lbs.
3. 1.5% syrup:
0.5 lbs - 1.5%
x+0.5 lbs - 100%
Write a proportion:

To get 1.5% syrup Ella should add 32.833 lbs of water. The total weight of strup is 33.333 lbs.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the variation is proportional dividing the y-value by the x-value will give the same result for all table entries. That quotient is the constant of variation (k).
Here 6.4/4 = 11.2/7 = 16/10 = 20.8/13 = 1.6
The value of y varies directly as x, and the constant of variation is 1.6. The equation is ...
y = 1.6x
