A jar contains 100ml of a mixture of oil and water in the ratio 1:4. Enough oil is added to make the ratio of oil to water 1:2.

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.

Can someone help me
barxatty [35]

Answer:

y= (-6/5)x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b , where m is the slope, and b is the y -intercept

the y -intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis so b = -2

the slope m= y(rise) /x(run)  = 6/-5 = -6/5 ( to find the slope you have to know how to get from any point on the line to another point on the same line; start at point (0,-2) go up 6(y-rise) and to the left 5(x-run) at point (-5,4))

y= (-6/5)x -2

Write the expression in algebraic form. [hint: sketch a right triangle.] tan(arcsec(x/3))
WARRIOR [948]

Sketch  a right triangle having adjacent side(A) is given as “3”, hypotenuse side (H) is “x” and assigning angle “a” as the angle between A and H. Using Pythagorean theorem, you will get “square root of x-squared minus 9” as the opposite side (O). Using SOH CAH TOA function, and since secant is the reciprocal of cosine, sec(a) = x/3. Thus, a = arcsec(x/3). The remaining expression tan(a) is Opposite side over Adjacent side which is equal to “square root of x^2 - 9” over "3". Therefore, the algebraic expression would be: tan(arcsec(x/3)) = “sqrt (x^2 -9)” /3. Different answers can be made depending on which side you consider the “3” and “x”.
