Answer 2

Mom would required 1 lbs of Sugar and 4 lbs of water.

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of Sugar syrup Mom wants to make = 5 lbs

Percentile amount of syrup she needs to make = 20%

Solution:

Let amount of sugar to make 20% syrup be 'x'.

So by definition of proportion we get;

`\frac {x}{5}=(20)/(100)`

Now Multiplying both side by 5 we get;

`\frac {x}{5}*5=(20)/(100)*5\\\\x=1\ lbs`

So we can say that;

Amount of water =
`5-1=4 \ lbs`

Hence Mom would required 1 lbs of Sugar and 4 lbs of water.
