ANSWER FAST PLSSS! QUIZ DUE TODAY!

Answer 1

5 lbs of 1.5% sugar

water is 0% sugar

sugar is 100% sugar

100-1.5 = 98.5

1.5-0 = 1.5

98.5/1.5 = 65 2/3

you need 65 2/3 as much water as sugar

s=5-w, w=5-s

(1.00)s + (0.00)w = .015(m) = .015(5) = .075 lbs sugar

mixed with 4.925 lbs water

yields 5 lbs of 1.5% sugar mixture

4.925/.075 = 65 2/3 as much water as sugar
