Jim needs to mix a medication with water to make the appropriate solution. The medications says to mix 3 oz of medication with 5 cups of water. Jim has 23 oz of medication. how much water will he need? solve using proportion ( please step boy step so I can understand this)

38 or 38.33 cups of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 5 cups of water for every 3 ounces of medication. We can set up a proportion: #oz of medication/#cups of water= #oz of medication/# cups of water. We can plug in some numbers from the problem.

3/5=23/n. You can use any variable, but I'm using n for how many cups of water Jim will need for 23 ounces of medication.

We can cross multiply: 3*n=5*23.

3n=115

We divide both sides by 3.

n=38.3333333

Rounding to the nearest whole number, Jim will need 38 cups of water, or 38.33 cups if you're rounding to the nearest hundredth.

Hope this helps :)

in geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. by extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.

b. 18

step-by-step explanation:

so the equation for this is:

ab^2=ac⋅ad

ab being the top length of 6 and ac being the length of 2 and ad being the length of x. let's plug into the equation:

6^2 = 2x

now lets just solve for x:

36 = 2x

18 = x

i hope that !
