Bruce has a bottle that contains 60% of lemon juice and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water. Part A: Write an equation in one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of lemon juice and water in the bottle. Define the variable used in the equation.

oh i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

convert your 60% into 0.6 times 1 liter = 0.26 0.6 x 0.26 = 0.156 of lemon 40% is your water covert 40% to 0.4 x 0.26= 0.104 of water

OpenStudy (tjhub00):

How do I put that into an equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60% over 100% fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do it in a proportion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or make lemon varible x and water varible y and set them up with the information i gave you x-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i haven't done this in a long time you must fill the process

OpenStudy (anonymous):

convert your 60% into 0.6 times 1 liter = 0.26 0.6 x 0.26 = 0.156 of lemon 40% is your water covert 40% to 0.4 x 0.26= 0.104 of water

OpenStudy (tjhub00):

where does the 0.26 come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the litter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

liter by gallon which is 0.26 or litter by quart which is 1.06

OpenStudy (anonymous):

knowing that 60% of lemon what makes the water? well the other 40% both together makes 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to set them up in varibles is your part.. i gaved you the process and information from my metric american units chart

OpenStudy (tjhub00):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Define the variable used in the equation. which you set it up your own way which i suggested x y d f whatever amounts of both lemon and water in percents together makes whole. and amounts given just to sweeten the answer lol it says (total number) liter by gallon which is 0.26 or litter by quart which is 1.06

OpenStudy (tjhub00):

I hate math

so do i
