Question

This is confusing! Help me show my work and explain:( Its only for number 15

Answer 1

2 gallons

Explanation:

that blank you have would be "1"

you would create that 10.5/7 and divide that so

1. Jan's ratio: (2:0.5)
2. Matt's ratio: (3:2)
3. 2x+0.5x=10
4. divide both sides by 2.5 (x=4)
5. 3x+2x=10
6. 5x=10 and then divide both sides by 5
7. x=2
8. Jan used 8 gallons of orange juice to make 10 gallons of punch, and Matt used 6 gallons of orange juice to make 10 gallons of punch
9. subtract 8-6=2 gallons

Answer 2

Since jans punch is 2 1/2 gallons in all. You see how many times 2 1/2 goes into ten which is 4 times. Next you multiply 4 times 2 to see how many of the gallons are orange juice which the answer is 8. So Jan used 8 gallons of orange juice in all. Next we do the same for Matt. So his numbers easy you add 3 and 2 to find the total of gallons of the recipe which makes 5 and then see how many times five goes into 10 which is only 2 times. Then we find how many gallons of that is orange juice by multiply 3x2=6 so Matt used 6 gallons of orange juice. Next we minus there totals which is 8-6=2. So Jan used 2 more gallons of orange juice then Matt.


Here it is in number form with no explanation.
Jan: 2+ 1/2=2 1/2 then 10 divided by 2 1/2=4 next 4x2=8 so the answer is 8 gallons of orange juice.
Matt:3+2=5 10 divided by 5=2 next 2x3=6 so the answer is 6.
To find the final answer you 8-6=2 so Jan used 2 more gallons of orange juice.
