\n" ); document.write( "Part A: Write an equation in one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of lemon juice and water in the bottle. Define the variable used in the equation. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Part B: How many liters of lemon juice are present in the bottle? Show your work.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here's my work:
\n" ); document.write( "0.60*1/0.40 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.60/0.40 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.5 = x
\n" ); document.write( "
The equation you set up and the amount you got are for the amount of lemon juice in the bottle, but you need an equation for the total amount of lemon juice and water.
\n" ); document.write( "This is done as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "40% or .4 represents the amount of water in the bottle. Since that amount is 1 L, and with amount of lemon juice and water being T, we get:
\n" ); document.write( "\".4%2F1+=+1%2FT\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28.4T+=+1%29\" -------- Cross-multiplying\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You actually have the answer to Part B, as there is indeed 1.5 L of lemon juice in the bottle \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
