Question

Anton wants to make 5 lb of sugar syrup. How much water and how much sugar does he need to make each concentration of sugar syrup?.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.075 lb of sugar, 4.925 lb of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion.

x/5=1.5/100

We then cross multiply so 5x1.5=7.5 and 100x.

7.5=100x. We divide 100 into both sides getting 0.075=x

5-0.075=4.925

Answer 2

Answer:

0.075 lb of sugar and 4.925 lb of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

x/5=1.5/100

5x1.5=7.5 and 100x.

7.5=100x.

0.075=x

5-0.075=4.925
