Answer:

  • 64 gallons 30%
  • 96 gallons 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of each brand can be found by writing and solving an equation that makes use of the given relations.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the quantity of 55% pure antifreeze needed in the mixture. Then the quantity of the 30% brand is (160-x). The amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture is ...

  0.55x +0.30(160 -x) = 0.45(160)

<h3>Solution</h3>

Subtracting 0.30(160), we have ...

  x(0.55 -0.30) = 160(0.45 -0.30)

  x = 24/0.25 = 96 . . . . . simplify, divide by the coefficient of x

96 gallons of the 55% brand, and 64 gallons of the 30% brand must be used.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve!

We have to find out how much of the candle needs to be burned!

14cm - 6cm = 8cm

The candle must burn 8cm in 4 hours!

Lets find out how much the candle burns in 1 hour.

\frac{8cm}{4hours}= 2cm per hour

The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.

Woohoo, We did it! <u>Would you like to mark my answer as brainliest?</u> I would love that!

Scrat [10]

Answer:

x < -10/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by -7.  Because this divisor is negative, we must reverse the direction of the inequality sign, obtaining:

-7x   <   10

-----   <  -----

 -7         -7

Then x < -10/7

What percent of 3000 is 18??
77julia77 [94]
To solve this problem you have to set up a proportion. To form one side of the proportion you use "is over of" meaning what number represented by is, in this case 18, is placed over the number represented by of, 3000. \frac{18}{3000} Since you are finding the percent of something, youre x value is placed above "100" because percent values are most commonly out of 100%. \frac{x}{100} 
So now your proportion will look like \frac{18}{3000}\frac{x}{100} To solve the proportion you cross multiply and divide. So you multiply 100 and 18 since they are crossed from each other, then divide 1800 by 3000. The answer is .6. 18 is .6% of 3000.
