Answer:

  • 6 2/3 qt 80%
  • 13 1/3 qt 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.

__

We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...

  0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)

  0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify

  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution

  (20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed

The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The fraction of all shapes which are square in shape is \frac{23}{32}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , in a game , white and black shapes are used. Some of them are circle in shape and remains are square in shape.

The ratio of white to black shapes are 5:11.

Consider 5x= the number of shapes which are white in color.

11x= The number of shapes which are black in color.

There are (5x+11x)= 16x shapes in the game.

The  white circle and white square are in the ratio 3:7.

The number of white square is

=(\textrm{The number of white shape})\times (\frac{7}{3+7})

=(5x)\times (\frac{7}{10})

=\frac{7x}{2}

The black circles and black square are in the ratio 3:8

The number of black square is

=(\textrm{The number of black shape})\times (\frac{8}{3+8})

=(11x)\times (\frac{8}{11})

=8x

Therefore the total number of shape which are square is

=\frac{7x}{2}+8x

=\frac{7x+16x}{2}

=\frac{23x}{2}

The fraction of all shape are square is

=\frac{\textrm{shape in square}}{\textrm{Total number shape}}

=\frac{\frac{23x}{2}}{16x}

=\frac{23}{32}
