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

The answer would be A because when you divide by a negative, it flips the sign.

20. <br> A.find the total area <br> B. Find the volume<br><br> Please explain :)

Check the first picture below, so the prism looks more or less like so.

now, check the second picture below, a triangular prism, is just 2 triangles and 3 rectangles.

so.. to get the total surface area of it, simply get the area of the rectangles and triangles, add them up, and that's the area of the prism.

the rectangles are just three each of 10x8
and to get the area of an equilateral triangle   

\bf \textit{area of an equilateral triangle}\\\\&#10;A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;s=\textit{length of a side}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;s=8&#10;\end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{8^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\textit{thus the areas added}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;(10\cdot 8)+(10\cdot 8)+(10\cdot 8)+\left(\frac{8^2\sqrt{3}}{4}  \right)

now, to get the volume of it, well, is just the area of a triangular face times the length, thus     \bf volume=V= \cfrac{8^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot 10

What is the difference between the high and low temp in the thermometer?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The difference between the high and low temperature in the thermometer is 23°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: Highest temperature = 20°F and the lowest temperature = -3°F.

We need to find the difference between the high and low temperature in the thermometer.

Difference between the high and low temperature is

Difference = Highest temperature - Lowest temperature

Difference = 20°F - (-3°F)

Difference = 20°F + 3°F

Difference = 23°F

Therefore the difference between the high and low temperature in the thermometer is 23°F.
