Cranberry juice is made with a 16:3:1 ratio of water:sugar:cranberries. How much water, in gallons, how much water is needed in order to make three gallons of cranberry juice? Express your answer as a

common fraction.

2 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out how many gallons of water so,

16/20 = water

3 gallons * 16/20 = 48/20 = 2 8/20 = 2 2/5

this works because then cranberries would be:

2 2/5/16 = 15/100

and for sugar that means

15/100 * 3 = 45/100

so in total

2 40/100 + 45/100 + 15/100 = 3 gallons

and if we simpilfy 2 40/200 we get 2 2/5

idk bring the function back   im not smart

step-by-step explanation:

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
