Answer:

A = 0.8 litres

B = 0.7 litres

C = 0.5 litres

D = 0.2 litres

Step-by-step explanation

Here's what we know:

1. Jug A = B + .1 litres

2. Jug C = B - 200 (or 0.2 litres)

3. Jug D = .25 x A

4. Jug A + Jug B = 1.5 litres

In problem 1, we learned that Jug A has .1 litres more than Jug B and in problem 4, the two of them added together are 1.5 litres. To solve this we can combine the problems.  

B + .1 litres + B = 1.5 litres

2B + .1 = 1.5

Subtract .01 from each side and you have 2B = 1.4

Divide each side by 2 and you have B = 0.7 litres

Plug this info into problem 1 and you can solve for A. (0.7 + 0.1 = 0.8)

Plug this info into problem 2 and you can solve for C. (0.7 - 0.2 = 0.5)

Since you have A, you can use that info to solve problem 3 (0.25 x 0.8 = 0.2)

Find the ratio a:b, if 2a−b/6 = b/3
Tom [10]

Answer:

a:b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to operate with terms in order to arrive to a ratio a:b (or a/b).

We have:

2a−b/6 = b/3

Lets sum b/6 in both sides:

2a−b/6 + b/6 = b/3 + b/6

2a = b/3 + b/6

Now, we can multiply and divide b/3 by 2 to make a 6 appear on the denominator and sum it with b/6, this is, use common denominator:

2a = b/3*(2/2) + b/6

2a = 2b/6 + b/6

2a = 3b/6

2a = b/2, as 3/6 = 1/2

Now lets divide both sides by b to make an a/b appear:

2a/b = (b/2)/b

2a/b = 1/2

Finally, multiply both sides by (1/2) or divide by 2:

(2a/b)/2 = 2

a/b = 2

This is, a is twice as b. If b is 1 so a is 2; if b is 45 so a is 90, and so on.
