Question

You mix water, glue, and borax in the ratio of 3:1:

2 to make slime. How many gallons of each
ingredient should you use to make 0.75 gallons of
slime?

Answer 1

Water = 0.375 gallons

Glue = 0.125 gallons

Borax = 0.25 gallons

Explanation:

Ratio = 3 : 1 : 2

Total = 0.75 gallons

Sum of the ratio = 3 + 1 + 2 = 6

Each amount =
`(amount.in.the.ratio)/(Sum)` × Total

Water =
`(3)/(6)` × 0.75 = 0.375 gallons

Glue =
`(1)/(6)` × 0.75 = 0.125 gallons

Borax = 0.75 - (0.375 + 0.125)

= 0.75 - 0.5 = 0.25 gallons
