Question

true or false? a mixture requires 2 parts glucose for every 35 parts of saline. a solution that is 8 parts glucose and 140 parts saline has the same proportion.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the ratio of the first - mixture

The ratio of glucose to saline in the first mixture is $\frac{2}{35}$.

Step2: Calculate the ratio of the second - mixture

The ratio of glucose to saline in the second mixture is $\frac{8}{140}$. Simplify $\frac{8}{140}$ by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4, we get $\frac{8\div4}{140\div4}=\frac{2}{35}$.

Step3: Compare the ratios

Since $\frac{2}{35}=\frac{2}{35}$, the two mixtures have the same proportion.

Answer:

True
