Question

A‌ ‌drink‌ ‌recipe‌ ‌calls‌ ‌for‌ ‌papaya‌ ‌juice‌ ‌and‌ ‌water.‌ ‌This‌ ‌equation‌ ‌represents‌ ‌the‌ ‌proportional‌ ‌relationship‌ ‌between‌ ‌the‌ ‌number‌ ‌of‌ ‌milliliters‌ ‌of‌ ‌papaya‌ ‌juice‌ ‌(‌p‌)‌ ‌and‌ ‌water‌ ‌(‌w‌)‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌recipe.‌ ‌

‌5‌p‌‌ ‌=‌ ‌85‌w‌ ‌
‌Enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌number‌ ‌of‌ ‌milliliters‌ ‌of‌ ‌water‌ ‌used‌ ‌for‌ ‌1‌ ‌milliliter‌ ‌of‌ ‌papaya‌ ‌juice.‌ ‌

Answer 1

1/17 mL of water

Explanation:

5p = 85w

Divide both sides by 85.

5p/85 = 85w/85

p/17 = w

w = p/17

For 1 mL of papaya juice, p = 1.

w = 1/17

1/17 mL of water is used for 1 mL of papaya juice.
