A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 20 % acid, the second contains 40 % and the third contains 70 % . They want to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 56 liters containing 50 % acid, using 2 times as much of the 70 % solution as the 40 % solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the first acid solution (containing 20% acid) in the mixture is 14 liters

The volume of the second acid solution (containing 40% acid) in the mixture is 14 liters

The volume of the third acid solution (containing 70% acid) in the mixture is 28 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of acid in the first acid solution = 20%

The percentage of acid in the second acid solution = 40%

The percentage of acid in the third acid solution = 70%

The volume they want to use the three solutions to obtain a mixture of = 56 liters

The concentration of the mixture they want to obtain = 50%

The amount of the 70% solution to be used = 2 × The volume of the 40% solution to be included

Let 'x', 'y', and 'z', represent the volumes of the first second and third acid solutions in the mixture

Therefore, from the question parameters, we get;

x + y + z = 56...(1)

z = 2·y...(2)

0.2·x + 0.4·y + 0.7·z = 0.5 × 56...(3)

Multiplying equation (3) by 10 and then subtracting equation (1) multiplied by 2 from the result gives;

10 × (0.2·x + 0.4·y + 0.7·z = 0.5 × 56) = 2·x + 4·y + 7·z = 5 × 56 = 280

2·x - 2·x + 4·y - 2·y + 7·z - 2·y = 280 - 2 × 56 = 168

2·y + 5·z = 168

From equation (2) and (4), we get;

2·y + 5·z = 2·y + 5×(2·y) = 168

12·y = 168

y = 168/12 = 14

The volume of the second acid solution in the mixture, y = 14 liters

From equation (2), we have;

z = 2·y

∴ z = 2 × 14 = 28

The volume of the third acid solution in the mixture, z = 28 liters

From equation (1), we get;

x + y + z = 56

x = 56 - (y + z)

∴ x = 56 - (14 + 28) = 14

The volume of the first acid solution in the mixture, x = 14 liters.

Average attendance at a school’s basketball games increased from 1,000 to 1,500 last year. One student said that represented a 150% increase. Explain the student’s mistake. What is the actual percent increase?

Answers

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1,000 is 100% of the attendance, 500 is half of 1,000 meaning it's 50%.

I think the student added 50% and 100%, they could have also divided 1,500 by 10.

The actual percent increase would be equal to 50 percent.

How to find the percentage from the total value?

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means). Thus, that thing in number is [tex]\dfrac{a}{100} \times b[/tex]

We have been given that the Average attendance at a school’s basketball games increased from 1,000 to 1,500 last year. a student said that represented a 150% increase.

Since 1,000 is 100% of the attendance, 500 is half of 1,000 which means that it's 50%.

Answers

Answer:

(2,1)

x = 2

y = 1

Explanation:

Check the image

Answer:

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already have an equation for y, all we need to do is plug that into y in the other equation.

y + 5 = 3x

(2x - 3) + 5 = 3x

2x - 3 + 5 = 3x

2x + 2 = 3x

2 = x

Now that we know y, we just need to plug the value of x into the equation.

y = 2(2) - 3

= 4 - 3

= 1

20 /3 =2w+ 4 /3

Step 2: Flip the equation.

2w+ 4 /3 = 20 /3

Steve will roll a number cube, numbered 1-6, twice. What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4, then
rolling an odd number?

Answers

Answer:

6/36 or 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4, then rolling an odd number, you must multiply the probability of rolling numbers greater than 4 by the probability of rolling an odd number. In numbers 1-6, there are two number greater than 4: 5 and 6. The probability of an event is the specific factor over the total amount of results or objects. The probability of rolling a number higher than 4 is 2/6, or 1/3. In numbers 1-6, there are 3 odd numbers: 1, 3, and 5. The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6, or 1/2. 3/6 times 2/6 is 6/36, and when simplified, it becomes 1/6.

−8(x−6)=32

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(x-6) = 32 (distribute)

-8x+48 = 32 (subtract 48 from both sides)

-8x = -16 (divide)

x = 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides :

−8(x−6)=32

Divide both sides of the eqaution by -8 :

x - 6 = -4

Move the constant to the right :

x - 6 = -4

Move the constant to the right - hand side and change its sign :

x = -4 + 6

Calculate :

x = -4 + 6

Calculate the sum :

x = 2

Therefore, the answer is x = 2

Answers

Answer:

D.)

No. There are only 12 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on information provided by the dot plot above, we can deduce that the number of bta longer Than 1 inch are those with length ; 1 1/8, 1 3/8, 1 4/8

Counting the number of these bolts :

1 1/8 = 5 bolts

1 3/8 = 3 bolts

1 4/8 = 4 bolts

Hence, total number of bolts longer Than 1 inch :

(5 + 3 + 4). = 12 bolts

The number of bolts longer than 1 inch is 16. Therefore, he does not have enough bolt for the project.
