Answer 2

The problem states that only one variable can be used. Let L be the total number of liters of water and milk combined. 20% of the total is Milk. Therefore, Milk = L x 20/100 = 0.2 L The rest of it is Water. So Water = L - 0.2L = 0.8L The problem states the bottle has 1 liter of water. So 0.8L = 1 Answer to a) 0.8L = 1 is the equation where L is the total number of liters of water and milk combined. Milk = 0.2L and Water = 0.8L b) Solve for L in 0.8L = 1 L = 1/0.8 = 1.25 Milk = 0.2L = (0.2)(1.25) = 0.25 liters

Answer 3

there u go

Answer 4

so what equation would i Use??

Answer 5

its in the passege i type

Answer 6
