Answer:

3 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this question using a easier way.

For example, A glass contains sugar and water, the ratio to sugar to water is 2 : 5. And the second glass's sugar to water is 2 : 3. The mixture of the first glass is 200 mL. The mixture of the second glass is the same as the first glass.

This kind of glass question, is very important to Math.

Try using this to solve this question.

Answer:

3:7

Step-by-step explanation:

So to solve this problem, you have to understand what the ratio 1:4 and 2:3 means. The 1:4 ratio in the first equation means that for "each unit of alcohol" there is 4 of those units of water. So let's say I had 2 gallons of alcohol and mixed it with 8 gallons of water. This means for each gallon of alcohol, there is 4 gallons of water, or in other words a 1:4 ratio. This can be described as a percentage as well. For each 5 gallons there are 4 gallons of water, and 1 gallon of alcohol or <em>20%</em> is alcohol. So let's just say that x=alcohol and y=water, this means that: x+y=c  where c is the total amount in the glass. This means that: x=0.20c

Let's do the same thing to the second equation. the ratio means that for every 2 units of alcohol there are 3 units of water. This means for every 5 gallons of the mixture there is 2 units of alcohol which is 40%. In this case let's also say that j=alcohol and k=water. This means that: j+k=c and that: j=0.40c.

So if we're going to add the two glasses, we simply add the two sides, and get: j+x+k+y=2c. Now remember how can can express j and x in terms of c, since it's a certain percentage of c (the entire thing). This means that we get: (0.4c+0.2c)+x+k=2c Now we can add like terms to get the equation: 0.6c+y+k=2c. We can find how much 0.6c is to 2c by dividing the 2, in doing so we get that 0.6c/2c = 0.3, or in other words the 0.6c is only 30% of the final mixture, and since the 0.6c represents the alcohol in this mixture, that means that's the percentage of alcohol. To write this as a ratio, this means for every 3 units of alcohol, there is 7 units of water, because 3/10 = 30%.

Lizette wanted to see if it would be possible to use a little less materials in a tea infuser but still not be required to be at
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Considering the volume of a rectangular prism, since the new volume is greater than the filled volume, the new dimensions would work, and 90.29% of the infuser would be filled.

<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>


The volume of a rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:

V = lwh.

The original dimensions are:

h = 7.9 cm, l = 3 cm, w = 1.5.

Hence the volume in cm³ was:

V = 7.9 x 3 x 1.5 = 35.55 cm³.

The infuser was filled to 80% capacity, hence:

Vf = 0.8 x 35.55 = 28.44 cm³.

For the new dimensions, we have that h = 7 cm, hence the volume is:

Vn = 7 x 3 x 1.5 = 31.5 cm³.

28.44/31.5 x 100% = 90.29%.

Since the new volume is greater than the filled volume, the new dimensions would work, and 90.29% of the infuser would be filled.

This circle is centered at the origin, and the length of its radius iS 6. What is
VikaD [51]

\sf{\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

The equation of circle in standard form can be represented as :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:(x - h) {}^{2}  + (y - k) {}^{2}  = r {}^{2}

where,

  • h = x - coordinate of centre = 0

  • k = y - coordinate of centre = 0

  • r = radius of circle = 6 units

now, let's plug in the values :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:(x - 0) {}^{2}  + (y - 0) {}^{2}  = 6 {}^{2}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  = 36

That's the required equation of circle.

A sphere has a volume of approximately 113 cubic units. Which of the following best represents the radius of the sphere?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

H. 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this question, we have to apply the formula for the sphere volume. The formula is:

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Plugging the given number into V, we calculate that:

113 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}\\84.75 = \pi r^{3}   \\

If π=3.14, the radius is:

r ≈ 3 units.
