A flavored drink is made using a mixture of a powder drink mix and water, with ratio of powder to water that is 3:2 based on weight. If 20 g of the powdered mix is needed for a certain amount of the flavored drink, how much water will be needed?

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]13.\overline 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to find the amount of water needed

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the amount of water needed

[tex]\frac{3}{2} = \frac{20}{x}[/tex] (with the ratio being 3 powder to 2 water)

Now we can cross multiply and solve for [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]3(x) = 20(2)\\3x = 40\\x = \frac{40}{3}\\ x = \boxed{13.\overline3}[/tex]

You will need [tex]13.\overline3[/tex] grams of water to make the flavored drink.
