X - height of the tree.
A proportion is:
1/2 : x = 1 : 36
x = 36 * 1/2
x = 18
Answer. the tree is 18 feet tall.
1/2 (8+4)= 6
1/2(-1+4)= 1.5
1/2 (2+4)= 3
1/2 (4+4)= 4
So the correct answer would be A(8)
Over 3 up 6, or better know as 3/6
Answer:
- 33 1/3 liters of 30%
- 16 2/3 liters of 45%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the liters of 45% solution needed. Then the amount of HCl in the mix is ...
0.45x +0.30(50 -x) = 0.35(50)
0.15x = 0.05(50) . . . . . simplify, subtract 0.30(50)
x = (0.05/0.15)(50) = 50/3 = 16 2/3 . . . liters of 45% HCl
33 1/3 liters of 30% and 16 2/3 liters of 45% HCl are needed.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You may notice that the general solution to a mixture problem of this sort is that the fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is ...
(mix % - low %) / (high % - low %) = (.35 -.30) / (.45 -.30) = .05/.15 = 1/3
