Question

The table below shows the combination of a dry prepacked mix and water to make concrete the mix says for every 1 gallon of water stir 60 pounds of dry mix . We know that 1 gallon of water is equal to 8 pounds of water . Using the information provided in the table , complete the remaining parts of the table . What belongs in Cell A?

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

1 pound of water to 60 pounds of dry mix

If 1 gallon of water = 8 pounds of water, then, we would have,

8 pounds of water to 60 pounds of dry mix

This implies that 8 pounds of water would stir 60 pounds of dry mix. Therefore, in the table showing both possible combinations, what we would have in cell A would be amount of dry mix that would be combined with 8 pounds of water = 60 pounds.

Cell A = 60 pounds
