Gabriel is making a mixture of compost and soil to use for a special plant. he wants his final mix to be two parts compost to 10 parts potting soil. he wants to end up with 6 kg of mix. how many kg of compost should gabrial use?

well, so we know the ratio of compost to soil is 2 : 10, or namely 2/10 which simplifies to 1/5 or namely the ratio of 1 : 5.

the mix will be 6 kgs total, so we'll simply divide the whole amount by (1 + 5), the sum of the ratios, and then distribute accordingly.

answer: i think it is (1,-2)

the multiples of 15 are 15, 30,45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195,   210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 315, 330, 345, 360, 375,   390, 405, 420, 435, 450, 465, 480, 495, 510, 525, 540, 555, 570, 585, 600, 615, 630, 645, 660, 675, 690, 705, 720, and 735.

the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.

hope that , fam!
