1. A jug of sweet tea holds 5 gallons of tea. Each cup of tea being poured from the jug is 0.25 gallons.
A jug of Kool Aid holds 4 gallons, and each cup of
kool aid being poured from the jug is 0.2 gallons.
Which equation can be used to find c, the number of
cups of tea or kool aid that needs to be poured in
which both jugs will have the same amount?
A. 5 -0.25c = 4 -0.2c
B. 5 + 0.25c = 4 + 0.2c
C. 5 -0.25c = 4 + 0.2c
D. 5 + 0.25c = 4 - 0.2c

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
