Answer:

18 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  she must mix a solution of 67% herbicide with a solution of 46% herbicide to form 42 liters of a 55% solution.

To Find: How much of the 67% solution must she use?

Let x = amount of 67% solution needed

Then 42-x=amount of 46% solution needed

Now we know that the pure herbicide in the 67% solution

So, pure herbicide = (0.67x)

The amount of pure herbicide in the 46% solution (0.46(42-x))

Now 42 liters of a 55% solution = (0.46(42-x))

So,

Amount of 67% solution + Amount of 46% solution  = 42 liters of a 55% solution

⇒0.67x+0.46(42-x)=0.55*42  

⇒0.67x+19.32-0.46x=23.1

⇒0.21x=3.78

⇒x=\frac{3.78}{0.21}

⇒x = 18 liters

Hence she use 18 liters of the 67% solution

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute. The machine stamps 36 caps in 10 seconds. 36X6=216 caps per minute.

24,408/216=113

It will take 113 minutes or 1 hour and 53 minutes

A tank can be filled by one pump in 3.2 hours and by another pump in 80 minutes. A third pump can drain the tank in 2 hours and
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Rounding to the nearest minute, it would take 95 minutes, or 1 hour and 35 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert each time to minutes:

3.2 hours = 192 minutes

80 minutes = 80 minutes

2 hr 20 min = 140 minutes

Next, let's find the least common multiple:

LCM(192, 80, 140) = 6720

So let's say the volume of the tank is 6720 units.  The speed of each pump is therefore:

Pump 1 = 6720 units / 192 minutes = 35 units/minute

Pump 2 = 6720 units / 80 minutes = 84 units/minute

Pump 3 = -6720 units / 140 minutes = -48 units/minute

Their combined speed is:

35 + 84 − 48 = 71 units/minute

So the time to fill the tank is:

6720 units / (71 units/minute) = 94.65 minutes

Rounding to the nearest minute, it would take 95 minutes, or 1 hour and 35 minutes.

What is the equation of the line that passes through points (-3, 0.5) and (3, -0.5)
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

y = (-1/6)x

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from  (-3, 0.5) to (3, -0.5), x increases by 6 and y decreases by 1.

Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -1/6.

Starting with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, we have:

y = mx + b.  We substitute 0.5 for y, -3 for x and -1/6 for m, obtaining:

0.5 = (-1/6)(-3) - b, or:

0.5 = 0.5 - b.  Then b = 0, and the desired equation is

y = (-1/6)x
