Answer:

  • 40 ml of water must be added.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial volume of mixture is 100 ml with oil to water ratio of 1 : 4.

First, let's find the volume of each component.

If the oil is x then water is 4x according to ratio and their sum is 100 ml:

  • x + 4x = 100
  • 5x = 100
  • x = 20

So, we have 20 ml of oil and 80 ml of water.

Now, let's added volume of oil be y. Then we have the ratio:

  • (20 + y)/80 = 1/2
  • 20 + y = 40
  • y = 20

So, we have 40 ml of oil and 80 ml of water.

Lastly, let's added water be z. Then we have the ratio:

  • 40/(80 + z) = 1/3
  • 80 + z = 120
  • z = 40

We must add 40 ml of water.

What is the value of AAA when we rewrite \left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^{9x}( 17 6 ​ ) 9x (, start fraction, 6, divided by, 17, end
sineoko [7]

We have been given an expression \left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^{9x}. We are asked to find the value of A when rewrite our given expression as A^{x}.

To solve our given problem, we will use exponent properties.

Using exponent property a^{mn}=(a^m)^n, we can rewrite our given expression as:

\left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^{9x}=\left(\left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^9\right)^{x}

Now, we will compare our expression with  A^{x}.

Upon comparing \left(\left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^9\right)^{x} with A^{x}, we can see that A=\left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^9.

Therefore, the value of A is \left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^9.

We can further simplify \left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^9 as:

\left(\dfrac {6}{17}\right)^9=\frac {6^9}{17^9}=\frac{10077696}{118587876497}

A two digit number when read from left to right to right consiststs of consecutive integers. the nmber is six more than for time
Solnce55 [7]

I suppose you want to know such number. Since we have a two digit number consisting of two consecutive integers, the only possible numbers are:

12,23,34,45,56,67,78,89

Since we sorted all the cases out, we simply have to check which one satisfies the requirement. For each number, we'll write four times the the sum of its digits, and add 6, hoping to get the original number.

\text{Number: } 12,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 12\ \ \text{plus six: } 18\neq 12

\text{Number: } 23,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 24\ \ \text{plus six: } 30\neq 23

\text{Number: } 34,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 28\ \ \text{plus six: } 34

So, the answer is 34.
