Question 108715
We have to find the liquid that PROPORTIONATELY we have the least of.
start with 8 gallons of z
8*5=40 not enough x. We only have 25 gallons.
8*2=16 enough y.
check y.
20/2*5=50 not enough x
So, the amount we can make is dependent on the amount of x that we have.
Since we have 25 gallons we will use:
25/5=x/1
x=5 gallons of z
25/5=x/2
5=x/2
5*2=2x/2
x=10 gallons of y
I hope that helps.
