Alex has a 10-gallon keg of wine and a big ladle. On Monday, Alex drew off a ladle-full of wine and filled the keg back up with water. On Tuesday, he repeated the process, making sure to mix the contents in the keg around first. On Wednesday morning, he realized that the keg now contains equal parts of wine and water. How many gallons can the ladle hold? The answer is in the form with . Find .
解析
设勺子容量为 加仑。
每次“舀出 并补水”都会把桶中“酒的比例”乘以 (因为抽走的是混合液,抽走体积占比为 )。
初始酒比例为 1。
- 周一后酒比例:。
- 周二后酒比例:。
周三观察到酒水各半,即酒比例为 ,所以
因此
所以 ,。
