Question 5.5. Choose the correct answer.

Kevin wants to make a mixture that is 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice. How much 100% lemon juice should he add to a juice that is 40% lemon juice and 60% lime juice to make 6 gal of the 50% lemon/50% lime juice mixture?
(Points : 1)

2.5 gal


Sagot :

3. 140= 3x +x
140= 4x
140/4 = 4x/4
35=x
3x= 35 * 3
3x= 105
The length is 105 ft

4. Number of dimes= d and number of quarters=q
d+q= 27
10d + 25q= 405
d= 27-q
10(27 -q) +25 q= 405
270 -10q + 25q= 405
270 + 15q= 405
15q= 135
q=9
d + q= 27
d +9=27
d=18
She has 18 dimes

5. 6 gal with a 50-50 split means 3 gallons each. The 60-40 has 3 gallons of lime. If 3 gal is 60%, the volume is 5 gal. We need to add 1 gallon

3-  105 ft
