Answer:

16 liters of 70% alcohol

4 liters of 20% alcohol

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = volume of 70% alcohol and y = volume of 20% alcohol. Since we need total of 20 liters, the first equation is x + y = 20. Next, calculate the amount of alcohol in the 20 liters of 60% alcohol. 60% is equivalent to 0.6, so there is 20*0.6 = 12 liters of alcohol in the 20 liter solution. Therefore the second equation is 0.7x + 0.2y = 12.

x + y = 20

0.7x + 0.2y = 12

2x + 2y = 40

7x + 2y = 120

-5x = -80

x = 16

16 + y = 20

y = 4

Answer: "x" : 3, "star" : 2/3, "circle" : 2 1/3, "square" : 4 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The number line is divided into segments that are thirds of a whole number. The question is asking where the shapes fall on the number line. For shapes that do not fall on a whole number, they fall on a fractional portion of a whole number, hence why they are a mixed number.

The following data set is sorted in ascending order:
Pepsi [2]
In statistics, the mean is the average of all data. You sum up all the data and divide to the number of data. Median, on the other hand, is just the middle term of the data when arranged from least to most.

So the measure that would change most is the mean. The new mean would be -5.82. While the new median would just move to the next data point which is 101.
