Answer:
w/2 = 7.5/5
3kg
Explanation:
Remaining question below:
Which proportion could Maddy use to model this situation?
a. w/2 = 7.5/5
b. w/7.5 = 5/2
Solve the proportion to determine the weight of a 2 liter jug.
_____kg
5 liters jug of sport drink weighs 7.5kg
2 liters jug of sport drink will weigh x kg
Find w
Ratio of weight to volume
7.5kg : 5liters=7.5/5
wkg : 2 liters=w/2
Equates the ratio
7.5 / 5 = w / 2
Cross product
7.5*2=5*w
15=5w
Divide both sides by 5
3=w
w=3kg
Therefore, weight of the 2liters jug of sport drink is 3kg
