Question

a paste mux calls for 2 parts water to 7 parts water. how much water must be added to 2 3/4 gallons of powder

Answer 1

Powder : Water
2 : 7


`7 \text { parts powder } \rightarrow 2 \text { parts water }`


`1 \text { part powder } \rightarrow (2)/(7) \text { parts water }`


`2 (3)/(4) \text { gallons of powder } \rightarrow (2)/(7) * 2 (3)/(4)\text { gallons of water }`


`2 (3)/(4) \text { gallons of powder } \rightarrow (2)/(7) * (11)/(4)\text { gallons of water }`


`2 (3)/(4) \text { gallons of powder } \rightarrow (11)/(14) \text { gallons of water }`


`\text {Answer : } (11)/(14)\text { gallons of water must be added}`
