Answer:

it should be used 16 gallons of 65% pue antifreeze and 24 gallons of 80% antifreeze.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' = amount of 65% antifreeze.

Let 'y' = amount of 90% antifreeze.

We need to obtain 40 gallons of mixture, then:

x + y = 40 gallons [1]

Also we know that the mixture should contain 80% pure antifreeze, then:

0.65x + 0.9y = 0.80(x+y) →  0.15x = 0.1y → y = 1.5x  [2]

Now, subtituting the value of 'y' into [1]:

x + y = 40 gallons → x + 1.5x = 40 gallons → 2.5x = 40 gallons

⇒ x = 16 gallons.

Then: y = 40 - 16 = 24 gallons.

Now, it should be used 16 gallons of 65% pue antifreeze and 24 gallons of 80% antifreeze.

Answer:

6.75 hrs are missing

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change all fractions into decimals:

8 = 8

7 1/4 = 7 + 0.25 = 7.25

8 1/2 = 8 + 0.50 = 8.50

Next, add all numbers gotten together:

8 + 7.25 + 8.50 = 23.75

Subtract the number gotten from the total

30.5 - 23.75 = 6.75
