how many ounces of 7% acid solution and how many ounces of a 23% acid solution must be mixed to obtain 20 oz of a 17% acid solution?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 7.5 ounces of  7% acid solution is mixed with 12.5 ounces of 23% acid solution to obtain 20 oz of a 17% acid solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Ounces of 7% acid solution

y=  Ounces of 23% acid solution

According to the question , we have two linear equations:

x+y=20    

i.e. y=20-x  ...(i)

0.07 x+ 0.23y =0.17 (20)

i.e.  0.07x+0.23y= 3.4 ...(ii)

Substitute value of y from (i) in (ii) , we get

0.07x+0.23(20-x)= 3.4

⇒ 0.07x+4.6-0.23x=3.4   [distributive property]

⇒ 0.07x-0.23x=3.4-4.6 [subtract 4.6 from both sides]

⇒ -0.16x=-1.2

⇒  x = 7.5    [divide both sides by-0.16]

put value of x in (i) , we get y= 20-7.5 =12.5

Hence, 7.5 ounces of  7% acid solution is mixed with 12.5 ounces of 23% acid solution to obtain 20 oz of a 17% acid solution.

A lease provides that the tenant pays $760 minimum rent per month plus 4% of the gross sales in excess of $150,000 per year. If the tenant paid a total rent of $20,520 last year, what was the gross sales volume?

Answers

Answer:

$435,000

Step-by-step explanation:

$760 per month * 12 months = $9,120

The minimum rent requires an annual rental cost of $9,120.

The annual rent was $20,520.

The excess was $20,520 - $9,120 = $11,400.

The amount of $11,400 of the rent was due to the gross sales in excess of $150,000.

$11,400 is 4% of the amount in excess of $150,000.

Let the amount in excess of $150,000 = x.

$11,400 = 4% of x

0.04x = 11,400

x = 285,000

$285,000 is the amount in excess of $150,000.

Total gross sales volume = $285,000 + $150,000 = $435,000

Answers

Answer:

its D. -3c

Step-by-step explanation:

just took the test

The expression that is equivalent to the expression [(6c² + 3c)/(-4c + 2)] ÷ [(2c + 1)/(4c - 2)] is; -3c

The fraction we are given to work with is;

[(6c² + 3c)/(-4c + 2)] ÷ [(2c + 1)/(4c - 2)]

Simplifying the fraction equation by factorization gives:

[3c(2c + 1)/(-2(2c - 1))] ÷ [(2c + 1)/(2(2c - 1)]

Now, in division of fractions, we know that;

3/2 ÷ 1/5 is the same as; 3/2 × 5/1

Applying this same method to our question gives;

[3c(2c + 1)/(-2(2c - 1))] × [(2(2c - 1)/(2c + 1)]

2(2c - 1) is common and will cancel out to get; 3c(2c + 1)/(-1/(2c + 1))

2c + 1 is common and will cancel out to get;  -3c

in the life of a car engine, calculatedin miles, is normally distributed, with a mean of 17,000 miels and a standard deviation of 16,500 miles, what should be the guarantee period if the company wants less than 2% of the engines to fail while under warranty g

Answers

Answer:

the guarantee period should be less than 136010 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let consider Y to be the life of a car engine

with a mean μ = 170000

and a standard deviation σ = 16500

The objective is to determine what should be the guarantee period T if the company wants less than 2% of the engines to fail.

i.e

P(Y < T ) < 0.02

For the variable of z ; we have:

[tex]z = \dfrac{x - \mu }{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{x - 170000 }{16500}[/tex]

Now;

[tex]P(Y < T ) = P( Z < \dfrac{T- 170000}{16500})[/tex]

[tex]P( Z < \dfrac{T- 170000}{16500})< 0.02[/tex]

From Z table ;

At P(Z < -2.06) ≅ 0.0197  which is close to 0.02

[tex]\dfrac{T- 170000}{16500}<- 2.06[/tex]

[tex]{T- 170000}<- 2.06({16500})[/tex]

[tex]{T- 170000}< - 33990[/tex]

[tex]{T}< - 33990+ 170000[/tex]

[tex]{T}<136010[/tex]

Thus; the guarantee period should be less than 136010 miles

Answers

Answer:

100% = 65 Gallons; 70% = 45.5 Gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The important piece of information here is that 13 gallons of water makes the container 1/5 of the way full, aka 20%.  If the question is simply, how many gallons will it hold, then we multiply 13 by 5 to get 100% at 65 gallons.  To get the amount held at 7/10, or 70%, we simply multiply 65 with 7/10 to get 45.5 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 2 and b = -3

so the question asks whats.... a^3 - b^3/5

First we plug in the values of a and b

Now we solve the ones in paranthesis first

(2)^3 = 8 because 2×2×2 and

-(-3)^3 forget about the - outside the parenthesis so

(-3)^3 = (-27) because (-3)×(-3)×(-3)

now we put it back together

8 -(-27)/5

the two minus become plus so

8 + 27/5

Now we solve it like fractions

8 and 27/5

there really is no difference in success rates between surgery and splints, then there is about 1 chance in 1000 of getting success rates like the ones

Alex is planning to surround his pool ABCD with a single line of tiles. How many units of tile will he need to surround his pool? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

18.97 units  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the pool looks like the diagram below.

The pool consists of two equal right triangles.

We know that AB = CD = 3.16.

1. Find the length of the pool

AD = BC,  and we can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate AD.

  AB² + AD² = BD²

 3.16² + AD² = 7.07²

9.986 + AD² = 48.98

             AD² = 48.98 - 9.986 = 40.00

             AD   = 6.324

2. Find the perimeter of the pool

P = AB + BC + CD + DA =3.16 + 6.324 + 3.16 + 6.324 = 18.97

Alex will need 18.97 units of tile to surround the pool.

Alex will need 13.42 units of tile to surround his pool.

A coordinate plane with quadrilateral ABCD at A (0,3), B (2,4), C (4,0), and D (2,-1).

How to find the boundary of the pool?

To find the units  of tiles that are needed to surround the pool ABCD with a single line of tiles  is equal to the perimeter of the rectangle

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 length+2 width

In the figure, the width is given as 2.24 units and the diagonal is 5 units.

So we can find the length using the Pythagorean theorem, which is c²=a²+b².

Now, 5²=(2.24)²+b²

b=4.47 units

Now, the perimeter of the pool will be 2 (4.47)+2 (2.24)

= 8.94 + 4.48

The perimeter of the rectangle = 13.42 units

Thus, Alex will need 13.42 units of tile to surround his pool.

Mrs Tan has 2 daughters, Phoebe and Jody. The highest common factor and lowest common multiple of their ages are 3 and 168 respectively.If Phoebe is 3 years older than her sister, find her age. ​

Answers

Answer:

Phoebe's age = 24 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiple of the ages are 3 and 168 respectively.

Phoebe is 3 years older than Jody.

To find:

The age of Phoebe = ?

Solution:

Here, We have two numbers whose

HCF = 3 and

LCM = 168

Let the age of Phoebe = P years and

Let the age of Jody = J years

As per given statement:

[tex]P = J + 3 ...... (1)[/tex]

Let us learn about the property of LCM and HCF of two numbers.

The product of LCM and HCF of two numbers is equal to the product of the two numbers themselves.

LCM [tex]\times[/tex] HCF = P [tex]\times[/tex] J  

[tex]\Rightarrow P\times J = 3 \times 168 \\\Rightarrow P\times J = 504[/tex]

Putting the value of P from equation (1):

[tex]\Rightarrow (J+3)\times J = 504\\\Rightarrow J^2+3J-504 = 0\\\Rightarrow J^2+24J-21J-504 = 0\\\Rightarrow J(J+24) - 21(J+24) = 0\\\Rightarrow (J - 21)(J+24) = 0\\\Rightarrow J = 21, -24[/tex]

Negative value for age is not possible So, Jody's age = 21 years

Using equation (1):

Phoebe's age = 21 + 3 = 24 years.

b) P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ]  = 0,1012

c)  P [ z > -2,43 ]  = 0,99245

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P [ z > 1,38 ] = 1 -  P [ z < 1,38 ]

From z-table  P [ z < 1,38 ] = 0,91621

P [ z > 1,38 ] = 1 - 0,91621

P [ z > 1,38 ] = 0,08379

b)  P [ 1,233 - 2,43 ]  must be  P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ]

P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ]  = P [ z < 2,43 ] - P [ z > 1,233 ]

P [ z < 2,43 ]  = 0,99245

P [ z > 1,233 ] = 0,89125    ( approximated value  without interpolation)

Then

P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ]  = 0,99245 - 0,89125

P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ]  = 0,1012

c) P [ z > -2,43 ]

Fom z-table

P [ z > -2,43 ] = 1 - P [ z < -2,43 ]

P [ z > -2,43 ] = 1 - 0,00755

P [ z > -2,43 ]  = 0,99245
