Question 1176020
<font color=black size=3>
We can form the ratio below, and divide both parts by 5
25 teaspoons of weed killer : 5 gallons of water
25/5 teaspoons of weed killer : 5/5 gallons of water
5 teaspoons of weed killer : 1 gallon of water


So 5 teaspoons of weed killer needs 1 gallon of water.


Then multiply both sides by 7 to turn "5 teaspoons" into "35 teaspoons"
5 teaspoons of weed killer : 1 gallon of water
7*5 teaspoons of weed killer : 7*1 gallon of water
35 teaspoons of weed killer : 7 gallons of water


You need 7 gallons of water


-------------------------------------------
Another way to solve:


(25 teaspoons of weedkiller)/(5 gallons of water) = (35 teaspoons of weedkiller)/(x gallons of water)
25/5 = 35/x
25*x = 5*35
25*x = 175
x = 175/25
x = 7


You need 7 gallons of water to mix with 35 teaspoons of weedkiller


-------------------------------------------


Answer: 7 gallons of water
