Answer 1

Use proportions
(3/x)=(70/100)
find x
and then multiply that answer by (3/10)

Answer 10

well, my teacher said that the chart must be filled out, but i can't see anyway you could make a chart out of that...can you?

Answer 11

Maybe, we can work the problem and find the answer. After that, the chart may make sense.

Answer 12

i'm sorry i don't get the answer

Answer 13

Let x = quarts of juice to be added

.45x is the pure juice in the blend

Total liquid in blend = (3 + x) quarts

Pure Juice in blend: .3(3 + x)

.3(3 + x) = .45x

x = 6 so you are adding 6 quarts of pure juice to get a blend that is 30% pure juice.
