A chemist wants to mix an 8% salt solution with a 20% salt solution to obtain 12 liters of an 18% salt solution. How much of the 20% solution should she use?
a. 9 liters of the 20% solution
b. 6 liters of the 20% solution
c. 10 liters of the 20% solution
d. 2 liters of the 20% solution

Answers

Answer 1

C: 10 L of the 20% solution

Let

x = amount of 8% solution

y = amount of 20% solution

The chemist wants to end up with a 12-L mixture, so

x + y = 12

x L of 8% solution contains 0.08x L of salt, and y L of 20% solution contains 0.2y L of salt. When combined, the resulting mixture should have a concentration of 18% salt, or 18% of 12 L = 2.16 L of salt, so

0.08x + 0.2y = 2.16

Solve for y :

x = 12 - y

0.08 (12 - y) + 0.2y = 2.16

0.96 - 0.08y + 0.2y = 2.16

0.12y = 1.2

y = 10

A restaurant serves soda pop in cylindical pitchers that are 6 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall. if the pitcher has1-inch head of foam, how much soda is lost as a result? ( ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES.)

Answers

Questions relating Word Problems can sometimes be resolved by taking note of the definition of given clues

The amount of soda lost is approximately 28.27 in.³

The reason the above value is correct is as follows:

The known parameters about the the soda pop served by the restaurant are;

Diameter of the cylindrical pitcher in which the soda pop is sold, D = 6 inches

The height of the cylindrical pitchers, h = 8 inches

Thickness of the head of foam in the pitchers, t = 1 inches

Required:

The amount of soda lost as a result of the head of foam

Method:

Define a pitcher

Calculate the volume occupied by the head of foam

Solution:

A pitcher holds drink and usually has a lip and handle, therefore, the drink is filled level with the pitcher

The volume occupied by the head of foam = The amount of soda lost

The volume occupied by the head of foam, [tex]\mathbf{V_{(head \ of \ foam)}}[/tex] = The volume of 1 inch height of the foam in the cylindrical pitcher

Volume in a cylinder = Base area × Height

[tex]\mathbf{Base \ area\ in \ a \ cylinder} =\dfrac{\pi \cdot D^2}{4}[/tex]

The height of the foam = The thickness of the foam = t

∴ [tex]V_{(head \ of \ foam)} =\mathbf{\dfrac{\pi \cdot D^2}{4} \times t}[/tex] =

Plugging in the values of D, and t, gives;

[tex]\mathbf{V_{(head \ of \ foam)}} =\dfrac{\pi \times (6 \ in.)^2}{4} \times 1 \ in. = \pi \mathbf{\times 9 \, in.^3}[/tex]

The volume of the head of foam, given to two decimal places is presented as follows;

[tex]V_{(head \ of \ foam)}[/tex] = π × 9 in.³ ≈ 28.27 in.³

The volume of the head of foam = The amount of soda lost ≈ 28.27 in.³

for a graph of a quadratic i have x intercepts that are x=12 and x =35 do i have enough information to find the y-coordinate of the vertext and why

Answers

Answer:

No... provided no other information or no graph is provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the x-coordinate of the vertex which can be calculated using the two given x-intercepts. Using the symmetry of the parabola, it would just mean the vertex should lay midway between the x's. So the x-coordinate of the vertex is (12+35)/2=47/2.

However, we do not have enough information about the relationship between x and y to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.

All we are given is y=a(x-12)(x-35) (where a is real number) since we know the relationship is quadratic, and the zeros are 12 & 35.

So we could have many possible y-coordinates for our vertex since we don't know the value of a in our equation and we can plug in our x-coordinate for our vertex to find them all.

y=a(47/2-12)(47/2-35)

I'm just going to put everything to right of a in calculator:

y=-529/4 ×a

So that's all the possible y-coordinates for the vertex.

evaluate the expression for the given values of the variable.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that y=sqrt(7), so just plug it into the expression y^2 +3. now we have (sqrt(7))^2 +3, (sqrt(x))^2=x, so (sqrt(7))^2 +3= 7+3=10

Segment AB

To Construct:

Solution:

A segment is a line with two ends with a specific length.

A perpendicular bisector is a line intersecting the other line segment into two equal lengtsh at an angle of 90 degrees.

Steps of construction:

With help of unmarked straightedge draw segment,AB.Open the compass more than half of the length of the AB segment and from point A, draw an arc above and below AB.Now, with that same compass from B draw arcs cutting the previous arcs made above and below the AB label them C and D.Draw a straight line from C to D which will be the perpendiular bisector of segemnt AB.

https://brainly.in/question/3957?tbs_match=3

#learnwithbrainly

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a perpendicular bisector, you need a compass, a straightedge, and a pencil. As well as the line segment AB drew down.

1> You start by opening the compass and stretching it to a width greater than half the length of AB.

2> Then you simply place one point of the compass on the line segments A. From here, you move the compass and draw arcs above and below the line AB.

3> Without moving the compass measure, remove it from point A and place it onto point B. You basically repeat step 2 by drawing arcs above and below the line again.

4> If you've done it right, the arcs should be in the middle, X and Y, and using a straightedge/ruler you draw a line that goes vertically through where they connect.

and that should be your perpendicular bisector using segment AB.

The longest side of an acute isosceles triangle is 12 centimeters. Rounded to the nearest tenth, what is the smallest possible length of one of the two congruent sides?

6.0 cm
6.1 cm
8.4 cm
8.5 cm

Answers

Answer:

6.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

it depends on what your teacher told you and wants to see.

because, theoretically, it would be 6.0 cm. but that would render the whole triangle into a flat line, as the 2 equal sides together (2×6 = 12) would be exactly as long as the baseline (12) of the triangle.

which is again a theoretically possible construct (counting as extreme triangle).

but it is more likely that your teacher wants the definition applied that for each combination of 2 sides this combination has to be larger (and not larger or equal) than the third side.

so, the 2 equal sides have to be larger than 6 cm.

the smallest number in your answer options to fit that criteria is 6.1 cm

just FYI - your teacher was not very precise in the phrasing, because there are many numbers smaller than 6.1 that would still be correct.

like 6.01, or 6.005, ...

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the smallest possible length is 6.1 cm.Thus, the answer is B) 6.1 cm.

In an acute isosceles triangle, the longest side is opposite the largest angle. Since the triangle is isosceles, the two congruent sides are equal in length.

In an acute triangle, the largest angle is less than 90 degrees. In an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are congruent. Therefore, each base angle must be less than 45 degrees.

Now, let's apply the triangle inequality theorem to determine the smallest possible length of one of the congruent sides. According to the theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

In this case, the longest side is 12 centimeters. Let's assume each of the congruent sides has a length of x centimeters.

Based on the triangle inequality theorem, we have the following inequality:

2x > 12

To find the smallest possible length, we divide both sides of the inequality by 2:

x > 6

Therefore, the smallest possible length of one of the two congruent sides is greater than 6 centimeters.

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the smallest possible length is 6.1 cm.

Thus, the answer is B) 6.1 cm.
