cant understand why when you pick numbers for example

Tank = 10 and get all the respective rates

10/(6/5)= 12
10/(3/2) = 15
10/2= 5

And add 12+15+5= 32

then if 2a+2b+2c= 32

div by 2 = a+b+c= 16

then if the tank capacity was 10/16 not equals 1

just make a ratio table

T S Total
3 80 83
----------------------
x 5/8 5/8 5/8
----------------------
= 5 133.4
----------------------

Hence 133.4 ~ 133

Parallelism on E
geared toward: ENHANCING AND PREPARING


Picking numbers to the above explanations...

If x,y,z equals= 5,10,15 then the std deviation is 5

If you add/increase+5 the std deviation we get= 10,15,20 again the std deviation is 5

Taking the same values of =5,10,15 if we multiply them by 2 we get 10,20,30 and the std deviation is now 10!

Another solution:

10^2 (10^6-1) / 10^3(10^4-1)

10^8 / 10^7 = 10^(8-7) = 10^1

Ans 10.

1 serving = 4 cans = 1 concentrate + 3 water

You want 100 (12 oz)servings or 200 (6 oz) servings

So you need 100*1/4 = 25 cans
