<span>Let x = amt of distilled water
:
A simple equation
.25(16) = .10(x+16)
4 = .10x + 1.6

4 - 1.6 = .1x
2.4 = .1x
x = 2.4/0.1
x = 24 oz of distilled water
:
:
Prove this by seeing the amt of antiseptic is the same (only the % changes)
.25(16) = .10(24+16)
4 = .1(40)

Answer: 24 oz

Explanation:

According to concentration equation:

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where C_1= concentration of ist solution

V_1= Volume of ist solution

C_2= concentration of 2nd solution

V_2= volume of 2nd solution

25\%16oz=10\%V_2

V_2=40oz

Thus to make the volume of 16oz to 40oz, she must add (40-16)oz=24 oz

Kesha is in charge of dying boiled eggs with her cousins, C.J and Carvin. She read on the directions that you add 2 tablespoons
marin [14]

Answer:

Independent: The amount of vinegar

Dependent: The dye result on the egg

Controlled: The type of eggs, the size of jars, the dye tablet, how much she stirs, etc.

Explanation:

The independent variable is what is being changed, which in this case, is the amount of vinegar being added to each jar. The dependent variable is what is being measured or observed. Kesha is looking for what happens to the egg when she adds more vinegar with the dye. Lastly, there could be a couple of controlled variables. Like, the dye tablet, the size and brand of the eggs, the types of jars, how long she stirs each egg, and so on. The controlled are just variables kept constant so that any result observed is because of one singular change, the independent variable.
