Answer:

An additional amount of blue is: 44 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem in the two steps:

First we will make proportion

w : b = 2 : 3  =>  w = 2 c  and b = 3 c  where c is coefficient of proportion

We know that we have a total of 20 l of paint, which mean>

w + b = 20 => 2 c + 3 c = 20 => 5 c = 20 => c = 20/5 = 4 => c = 4

w = 2 c = 2 · 4 = 8 liters

b = 3 · 4 = 12 liters

Now we will make second proportion:

w : (b + x) = 8 : (12 + x) = 1 : 7  

When we multiply external and internal members we get:

12 + x = 8 · 7 => 12 + x = 56  =>  x = 56 - 12 = 44 liters

x = 44 liters

God with you!!!

1.3.33 Question Help A certain triangle has a perimeter of 3078 mi. The shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side,
maksim [4K]

Answer:

the shortest side is 855 miles long.

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b + c = 3078 miles

a = b - 71

c = b + 371

=>

(b-71) + b + (b+371) = 3078

3b + 300 = 3078

3b = 2778

b = 926 miles

a = 926 - 71 = 855 miles

c = 926 + 371 = 1297 miles
