Answer:

28 oz of water

Explanation:

Percentage of salt in the original solution = 15%

Let the amount of water to be evaporated = w

If we remove w oz of water from 70 oz solution, the resulting solution contains:

25\%\text{ of }(70-w)\text{ salt}

So, we have the equation:

0.15(70)=0.25(70-w)

We then solve for w:

\begin{gathered} 10.5=17.5-0.25w \\ \implies0.25w=17.5-10.5 \\ 0.25w=7 \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 0.25} \\ \frac{0.25w}{0.25}=\frac{7}{0.25} \\ w=28 \end{gathered}

Thus, 28 oz of water must be evaporated from a 70 oz, 15% saline solution to produce a 25% saline solution.

ira [324]
Solve the area of the whole circle since in an hour, the minute hand covers the whole clock
assuming that the minute hand reaches all the way out to the edge of the clock


the minute hand is the radius
area=pi times r^2
r=5
5^2=25
area=pi times 25
area=25pi

aprox pi=3.14
25 times 2.14=78.5

area=78.5 in^2
