  62.5 oz of 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of ounces of pure syrup. Then (100-p) is the number of ounces of 60% syrup. The amount of maple syrup in the desired mix is ...

  p +0.60(100 -p) = 0.85(100)

  0.40p +60 = 85 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.40p = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 60

  p = 62.5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.4

62.5 ounces of pure syrup should be mixed with the diluted syrup to make 100 ounces of 85% maple syrup.

The other 37.5 ounces will be 60% syrup.

3-4

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 3-4 because both 45 and 60 has a multiple of 15.

45/3=15

60/4=15

therefore the odds against selecting a red is 4-3
