    hey phillip , i have a doubt on the last question,
    you said 1/4 of the mixture of glass B is in the resulting glass , but isn't it the calculation just for lemonade , so it is 1/4 of 65% of the resultant glass not 1/4 of the entire resultant glass. hence you cannot calculate 1/2 of 1/4 is the cola in the resultant glass.
    am I right?

    • @TheTestedTutor
      @TheTestedTutor  3 года назад +3

      No the 1/4 is for all of Glass B, not just its lemonade. This trick always gets you the overall proportion instantly...

    Hello,
    The middle number trick is helpful, however I got a bit confused why we did a 3/8 and 5/8 when we didnt do that in the previous question. Why didnt we Keep it as M=3/5 E and E+M=120 --> 3/5E+E=120 and solved for that. The numbers were different though. E=evenning M=matinee
    Thanks

    @Augustusstewodro08 2 месяца назад +1

    On the last question, if 62.5 ml is the amount of cola , and then 325 ml will be the amount of lemonade, hence their sum will be 387.5. After we get this value 112.5 ml is left for water, but from question water only have 30% of the total of two containers because it only found in the first container, so that, how come 112.5 amount is left for water?

  • @kenechukwuujam1479
    @kenechukwuujam1479 10 месяцев назад

    I got 43.75 ml for the last example. Here's my thought process: if 65% of the final mixture is lemonade then, the remaining 35% would be a mixture of water and cola. This now provides a weighted average for a water and cola mixture. Then, that 35% became my middle number while 30% and 50% where the values for water and cola respectively. Obviously, my answer was different from yours (so, possibly wrong) but I am finding it hard to pick out the error in my logic.
