I think I have my answer but I still need help
Daniellewillusetheinstructionsintheboxbelow to make a cleaning solution. Add 13 cups of water to every 2 cups of concentrated cleaner. Which of the following proportions can be used to find w , the number of cups of water Danielle will add to 5 cups of concentrated cleaner?
A 13/2 = w/5 ****
B 13/2 = 5/w
C 13/5 = w/2
D 5/2 = 13/w
You are right.
Thanks Ms. Sue you're the best!
You're welcome. :-)
To find the number of cups of water Danielle will add to 5 cups of concentrated cleaner, you can set up a proportion using the information provided.
The given ratio is 13 cups of water to every 2 cups of concentrated cleaner.
Let's set up the proportion:
13/2 = w/5
To solve this proportion, you can use cross-multiplication. Multiply 13 by 5 and 2 by w:
13 * 5 = 2 * w
Now you have:
65 = 2w
To solve for w, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
65/2 = w
So, w is equal to 32.5.
Therefore, the proportion that can be used to find w, the number of cups of water Danielle will add to 5 cups of concentrated cleaner, is A: 13/2 = w/5.
