Answer 2

Nice problem. Please show your work and share your ideas.

What quiz is this? Should you be getting outside help?

Answer 3

This is off of a practice test.

All i know is this:

75% = 3 / 4
1 liter = 1 / 4

togehter, you would get 4 liters.

how do i set up the eqauation though?

Answer 4

75% Apple Juice
25% Water = 1 liter water

Always, always, ALWAYS define, write down, and remember useful and necessary variables.

How many liters in total? No idea. Name it. Define it. Describe it.

T = Total Number of Liters of stuff.

Once that has been done, can we now talk about equations?

Rule #1 - Show your work up front. Don't make people guess what you are doing. Show them!

Answer 5

noted. now that i have provided you with my information that I know, can you walk me through this?

Answer 6

I just did.

T = Total Number of Liters of stuff.

Now, go ahead and write an equation expressing the amount of Apple Juice.

Water: 0.25T = 1 liter

Answer 7

T = 0.25t + 0.75t???????
