- Michael uses lemonade concentrate and water to make lemonade for the family. The ratio of cups of lemonade
concentrate to cups of water is 1:3. If he made 32 cups of lemonade for the family, how many cups of
concentrate did he need?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ratio is 1:3

concentrate =1

water=3

the total =3+1=4

using the part to all method

1/4=x/32

cross multiply

4x=32

divide both sides by 4 we have

x=32/4

x=8

Therefore the amount of concentrate is 8 cups

he spend 5.1 minutes chatting with his friends

step-by-step explanation:

2/5+1/2=9/10

6/1-9/10=5 1/10

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
