Do you have a formula or a way to work this? //Or do you have a guess?

brokenstanzas · Answer

I think this would be solved by using ratios but I'm not too sure

ms_sp · Answer

Don't have a formula, all I know is x+y=45.
@AlexaTiger 
And, @brokenstanzas : We don't do ratios.

alexatiger · Answer

Actually, I'm pretty sure the way I was taught was with ratios. Cool, @brokenstanzas 
We were looking at number one when I said that :) 
No ratios for number one either?

None  @AlexaTiger

Alrighty, thanks. 
I can't figure this out, I'd guess at the first one and I haven't done Chemistry before. Sorry   :(

brokenstanzas · Answer

Maybe $$7.50x+5.00y=6.00(60)$$
I'm kinda guessing at this point

ms_sp · Answer

It's not chemistry, it's math you guys!
