I just cant work this out , i havnt used my Mathematica skills that much recently it must be said, but im sure someone will be able to answer this.

 

 

Bottle of wine = 750 cl, 12.5%

 

Bottle of Smirnoff =  700 cl, 37.5%

 

 

So you have an empty wine bottle, your going to add X amount of vodka, top up with slim line lemo, and maybe a little ginger cordial, how much vodka do you put into the bottle to make the same % as the wine?

 

thanks!

(700/37.5)X12.5 = 233.33cl

I got it slightly different, I think Ivan's overlooked the bottle's bigger.

 

37.5/12.5 tells us the voddie is 3 times stronger. So 1/3rd fill the wine bottle (250cl)  and top up with pop.

Never mind, it's taken me to now to realise those "bottles" 'll give you a headache even if it was only Bass Shandy in 'em. 700cl is 7 litres!

lol thanks, its in a slight effort to loose some weight, im trying to drink; well less calories at least ! and to be fair, its nicer than the wine too.. seems like 200cl is enough to get me happy for a night though, less than the wine

 

 

thanks!

A bat and a ball cost £1.10 in total. The bat costs £1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

The rainforest catches fire and the fire spreads so fast the burnt area doubles in size every day. Fortunately the monsoon arrives and extinguishes the fire 12 days after it started but 1200 acres of forest have been lost.

If the rains had come just a day earlier, how much more forest would have been saved?

This is an example of not knowing the value, just the cost

 

What does it matter how much the ball costs; if you are buying both together you can have lots of games with them (until the ball goes down a rabbit hole)

But it depends if the President of Brazil thinks you have an ulterior motive to put the fire out a day earlier.....
