water consists of hydrogen and oxygen , and the approximate ratio , by mass , of hydrogen to oxygen is 2 : 16 . approximately how many grams of oxygen are there in 90 grams of water ?
"solution : we are given that the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in water , by mass , is 2 : 16 . using our ratio multiplier we can re - write this as 2 x : 16 x . we can now use these expressions to determine how much oxygen is in 90 grams of water . 2 x + 16 x = 90 18 x = 90 x = 5 since x is 5 , we know that there are 16 x 5 = 80 grams of oxygen in 90 grams of water . answer b ."

a dessert recipe calls for 50 % melted chocolate and 50 % raspberry puree to make a particular sauce . a chef accidentally makes 15 cups of the sauce with 40 % melted chocolate and 60 % raspberry puree instead . how many cups of the sauce does he need to remove and replace with pure melted chocolate to make the sauce the proper 50 % of each ?
we have 15 cups of sauce with 4040 choc and 6060 rasb cups of choc = 0.4 βˆ— 15 = 6 cups of rasb = 0.6 βˆ— 15 = 9 now let say we removed x cup of original mix and replaced with x cups of choc . therefore final number of cups of choc = 6 βˆ’ 0.4 x + x now this number of cup should be 50 % of total = 15 / 2 = 7.5 therefore 6 βˆ’ 0.4 x + x = 7.5 on solving x = 2.5 answer : b

if x and y are both odd prime numbers andx < y , then how many different positive integer factors does 2 xyhave ?
"x and y are both odd prime numbers - it means either x or y is not 2 and since prime numbers have only two factors - 1 and the number itself x and y each will have ( 1 + 1 ) = 2 factors hence 2 xy will have ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) = 8 factors e is the answer"

there are 30 students in a classroom . the ratio of the # of girls to boys was 1 : 2 , how many boys are there ?
# of girls = x # of boys = 2 x x + 2 x = 30 3 x = 30 x = 30 / 3 = 10 boys = 2 x = 2 * 10 = 20 answer : c
a = 1 + 2 b = 2 / a c = b * 30
