The ratio is 2.3:1.2 for A:B. Ratios will remain the same but can be scaled up or down by some factor/multiple. Like if you had a food recipe that you needed to double, the scaling factor would be 2 and all ingredients in the recipe would be doubled.

Since we don't know the scaling factor, we assign that multiple "x". Then the amounts of each ingredient oil would be:

amount of A = 2.3x
amount of B = 1.2x

add them together to get the required mixture amount.

1000 = 2.3x + 1.2x
1000 = 3.5x
1000/3.5 = x
285.7 = x
this is the scaling factor.

plug x in to find the amounts of each oil type.

A = 2.3(285.7)
A = 657.1 L

B = 1.2(285.7)
B = 342.9 L

<span>To produce 1000L of mixture the factory will need 657 liters of grade A and 343 liters of grade B. To determine this you have to figure out the percentage of each grade in the mixture. The ratio is 2.3 liters to 1.2 liters. Therefor in this scenario the unit equaling 100% is 3.5 liters. To find the percentage of grade A you divide the amount used by the total amount of the unit 100%: 2.3 divided by 3.5 = .657 (multiply the answer by 100 to get 65.7%). To find the percentage of grade B you divide the amount used by the total amount of the unit 100%: 1.2 divided by 3.5 = .343 (multiply the answer by 100 to get 34.3%) To test your answer make sure both percentages add up to 100%: 65.75 plus 34.35 = 100% To determine how much of grade A and grade B is needed for a set amount of liters you multiply the percentage by the liters needed. For this situation you multiply 65.7% (when multiplying percentages you need to multiply in decimal form). For grade A you multiply .657 (65.7%) by 1000 liters = 657 liters For grade B you multiply .343 (34.3%) by 1000 liters = 343 liters To test your answer you can use the same addition as you did to test the percentages: 657 liters plus 343 liters = 1000 liters</span>

Complete Question

Write a rational equation that relates the desired percentage p, to the amount A of a 30% solution that needs to be added to 1 liter of 10% acid solution to make a blend that is p% acid, where 0<p<100 . What is a reasonable restriction on the set of possible values of ? Explain your answer.

Answer:

100(0.1 + 0.3A)= (1 + A) P

Step-by-step explanation:

A of a 30% solution that needs to be added to 1 liter of 10% acid solution to make a blend that is p% acid,

Hence,

10% of 1 + 30% of A = p%(1 + A)

0.10 + 0.3A = (p/100)(1 + A)

Divide both sides by 1 + A

0.1 + 0.3A/ 1 + A = p/100

Cross Multiply

100(0.1 + 0.3A) = 1 + A(p)

From the above calculation, we can see that, the blend that would be formed is not lower than 10% or greater than 30%

10% < p< 30%

A family has an annual income of ​$30,600 Of​ this, 1/4 is spent for​ food, 1/5 for​ housing, 1/10 for​ clothing, 1/9 for​ savin
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$6,120

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 (one-fifth) of the family's annual income ($30,600) is spent on housing- as the word problem states.

You have to find 1/5 (one-fifth) of* $30,600.

Write it out as an equation.

\frac{1}{5}  \times 30600

*The <em>of</em><em> </em>in the word equation (1/5 of 30600) simply means multiplication.

Point R is at (3, 1.3) and Point T is at (3, 2.4) on a coordinate grid. The distance between the two points is _____.
Bond [772]

Answer:

d = 1.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the x- coordinates of the 2 points are equal, both 3, then they lie on a vertical line. The distance between the 2 points is the difference in the y- coordinates, that is

d = | 2.4 - 1.3 | = | 1.1 | = 1.1 units
