A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is

65% salt and Solution B is 80% salt. She wants to obtain 120 ounces of a mixture that is 70% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

We can use these variables:

A = number of ounces for solution A
B = Number of ounces for solution B

A + B = 20

Now, we can use decimal conversions.

0.65A + 0.80B = 0.70(120)

Next step: We substitute A into 120 - B to show their relationship.

0.65(120 - B) + 0.80B = 84

Now onto the next equation:

78 - 0.65B + 0.80B = 84
0.80 - 0.65 = 0.15, so…

0.15B = 84 - 78
0.15B = 6
B = 6 divided by 0.15
B = 40 ounces

To find A, we can simply plug B into the starting equation.

A = 120 - 40
A = 60 ounces

Your final answer: The scientist should use 60 ounces of solution A and she should use 40 ounces of solution B. Yeah

Two forces act on an object. The first Force has a magnitude of 400 Newtons and acts at an angle of 30 degrees as measured from
Sedaia [141]

ANSWER

Option D is correct

EXPLANATION

We resolve the forces into component forms.

F_1 = 400 \cos(30) i + 400 \sin(30) j

F_1 = 200  \sqrt{3} i +200j

Also the second is resolved to obtain,

F_2= 280 \cos(135) i + 280 \sin(135) j.

F_2=  - 140 \sqrt{2} i + 140  \sqrt{2}  j

To find the resultant vector, V, We add the corresponding components of the two forces to get:

V=F_1+F_2

\implies \: V = (200  \sqrt{3} - 140 \sqrt{2} )i + (200 + 140 \sqrt{2})j

The correct answer is D.
