A local paint store sells a certain solvent in containers of two sizes--small and large. The capacity, in liters, of 5 small containers is the same as the capacity, in liters, of 2 large containers.
Select for Large and for Combined numbers of liters that are jointly consistent with the given information and that could represent the capacity of 1 large container and the combined capacity of 1 small and 1 large container. Make only two selections, one in each column.

A local paint store sells a certain solvent in containers of two sizes--small and large. The capacity, in liters, of 5 small containers is the same as the capacity, in liters, of 2 large containers.
Select for Large and for Combined numbers of liters that are jointly consistent with the given information and that could represent the capacity of 1 large container and the combined capacity of 1 small and 1 large container. Make only two selections, one in each column.
Let S be the capacity of a small container.
The capacity of a large container is 5S/2.
So, the ratio of the capacity of a large container to the combined capacity of one small and one large container is the following:
5S/2 : S + 5S/2
5S/2 : 7S/2
5 : 7
So, the answers for Large and Combined must be in the ratio of 5 to 7.

The only two choices that are in the ratio of 5 : 7 are 50 and 70.

The capacity of a small(s):large(l) container is 2:5, so if we take common ratio as x, then s and c become 2x and 5x.
We are looking for l: (s+l) = 5x:7x
So the s+l should be multiple of 7: Only 70 possible
s+l=7x=70, so x=10 and l becomes 5x or 5*10 or 50
