Answer 12

I got your answer....I am just trying to make an equation.....I figured it with a proportion ...
This is what I did...

40/1 = 100/x (40% to 1 liter = 100% to x liters)
cross multiply
40x = 100
x = 100/40
x = 2.5 (total liters are 2.5)

60% (lemon juice) * 2.5 = 1.5 liters
40% (water) * 2.5 = 1 liter
added together = 2.5 liters

Will that work ?

Answer 13

YES THAT IS FINE!! will an equation be y=.6x+1?

Answer 14

I am not sure...you have 2 variables. I thought you were only supposed to have 1

Answer 15

actually, my proportion is an equation with 1 variable but I am not sure if your teacher wants it done that way. I did my best.

I am sorry but I have to go now.....good luck
