    Answer: im guessing you need the amount of compound b

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1 think out problem

    compound A = 222m compound B=3 milliliters of compound A used for every 2 milliliters of compound B

    write compound B as an equation which is:

    a=3+2b

    compound a equation is: a=222

    to continue you have to make compound B equation equal b

    a=3+2b

    -2b - 2b

    a-2b=3

    -a - a

    -2b/-2=3/-2-a/-2

    b = - 3/2+a/2

    i am working on the substitution method: so now you substitute variables

    problems are: b=-3/2+a/2 and a=222

    substute a for a: b=-3/2+222/2

    b=109.5

    a=222

    compound A=222

    compound B=109.5

    add both for final answer or whatever: 109.5+222 = 331.5

    sorry for the long complicated answer hope you understand. i tried my best it should be right. sorry if my answer is wrong.
