A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 5 milliliters of compound A used for every 4 milliliters of compound B. If a chemist wants to make 621 milliliters of the drug, how many milliliters of compound A are needed?

884

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the ratio of A to B is 5:8

let x = the multiplier

then

5x = amt of compound A

and

8x = amt of compound B

:

5x + 8x = 884

13x = 884

x = 884/13

x = 68 is the multiplier

therefore

5(68) = 340 millilters of compound A needed

Confirm our answer. Find the amt of B

8(68) = 544 ml of B

340 + 544 = 884

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
