Question

a bag of powdered driveway sealant call for the addition of 5 quarts of water for every 30 pounds of sealant. How much water should be added if only 20 pounds of sealant will be used?

Use a proportion
 
5 / 30 = x / 20
100 / 30 = x
 
 
Three and one-third quarts of water are needed.
