Write each ratio in its fractional form then set the two ratios equal to each other and cross multiply to solve. How many liters of water are mixed with 8 lemons. The ratio of the length to the area is 100 to 6000 1006000 or 1006000.

If a bag of the mixture contains 3 pounds of rice how much corn does it contain.
