Answer:
The amount of punch mix to use is 3/4 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> parts of water
y ---> parts of punch mix
we know that
[tex]\frac{x}{y} =\frac{8}{1}[/tex]
[tex]x=8y[/tex] ----> equation A
That means ---> The parts of water is 8 times the parts of punch mix
If we have 6 gal of water
then
[tex]x=6\ gal[/tex]
substitute in the equation A
[tex]6=8y[/tex]
solve for y
[tex]y=\frac{6}{8}\ gal[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]y=\frac{3}{4}\ gal[/tex]
therefore
The amount of punch mix to use is 3/4 gallons
