Brayden is making soup. to make the broth, he combines 2/3 cup of vegetable stock and 2/5 cup of chicken stock. boiling the broth causes 1/4 cup of the liquid to evaporate. how much broth is left after it is boiled? explain how you solved.

4/5 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi.

First, what you would want to do is to find the total amount of the liquid before anything evaporated.

2/5 + 2/3

Find a common denominator

6/15 + 10 / 15 = 16/15

Now you know that 16/15 cups is how much broth there was before anything evaporated. Now you want to find out how much broth there was after 1/4 cup evaporated.

To find this, multiply 16/15 × 1/4

You will get 4/15

Lastly, you want to subtract the amount evaporated from the amount that was already there.

16/15 - 4/15 = 12/15 = 4/5 cup

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

if e is the midpoint of bd, then bd is 14.
