How much pure acid should be mixed with 55 gallons of a 60%acid solution in order to get an 80% acid solution?

1 answer:

4 0

Work in amount of pure acid let x = gallons of pure acid required.
then we have the equation:-

x + 55(0.6) = 0.80(x + 55)

x + 33 = 0.80x + 44
0.20x = 11
x = 11/0.2 = 55 gallons answer

A stone is dropped of a 1296-ft-cliff. The height of the stone above the ground is given by the equation h= - 16t^2+1296, where

When stone hits the ground, it's height will be zero, and since we're finding the time that's required for the stone to hit the ground, we can set h = 0 and solve for t.
