Maddy is carrying a 5 liter jug of sports drink that weighs 7.5 kg. She wants to know how many kilograms a 2 liter jug of sports drink would weigh. She assumes the relationship between volume and weight is proportional.

How many kilograms does the 2 liter jug weigh?

(type the number only, no units)

 $\frac{2n+5}{3}=\frac{5}{2}$  

If we cross multiply to solve the proportion, the resulting equation would be:

•  $4n+5=15$  

•  $4n+10=15$  

•  $2n+10=15$  

•  $2n+5=2.5$

• $\frac{3}{8}=\frac{c}{560}$

• $\frac{560}{3}=\frac{8}{c}$
