Answer:

7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of 10% solution plus volume of 30% solution = total volume of 25% volume.

x + y = 30

Acid in 10% solution plus acid in 30% solution = total acid in 25% solution.

0.10 x + 0.30 y = 30 × 0.25

0.10 x + 0.30 y = 7.5

Solve the system of equations, using either substitution or elimination.  I'll use substitution:

x = 30 − y

0.10 (30 − y) + 0.30 y = 7.5

3 − 0.10 y + 0.30 y = 7.5

0.20 y = 4.5

y = 22.5

x = 30 − y

x = 7.5

Sarah needs 7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution.

Answer:

Sarah needs 7.5 liters of the 10% acid solution and 22.5 liters of the 30% acid solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - \text{volume of the}\ 10\%\ \text{acid solution}\\\\30 - x - \text{volume of the}\ 30\%\ \text{acid solution}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\25\%=\dfrac{25}{100}=0.25,\ 10\%=\dfrac{10}{100}=0.1,\ 30\%=\dfrac{30}{100}=0.3\\\\25\%\ of\ the\ 30\ liters\to(0.25)(30)\\10\%\ of\ the\ x\ liters\to0.1x\\30\%\ of\ the\ (30-x)\ liters\to0.3(30-x)\\\\\text{The equation:}\\\\0.1x+0.3(30-x)=(0.25)(30)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\0.1x+(0.3)(30)+(0.3)(-x)=7.5\\\\0.1x+9-0.3x=7.5\qquad\text{subtract 9 from both sides}

-0.2x=-1.5\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-5)}\\\\x=7.5\ (liters)\\\\30-x=30-7.5=22.5\ (liters)

Kristen is making accessories for the soccer team. She uses 595.56 inches of fabric on headbands for 39 players and 3 coaches. S
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

22.99 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

According to problem, given data are as follows:

Fabric used for headband = 595.56 inches

Number of headbands made = 39 + 3 = 42

So, Fabric used per headband = 595.56 ÷ 42 = 14.18 inches per headband

Similarly, Fabric used for wristband = 343.59 inches

Number of wristbands made = 39

So, Fabric used per wristband = 343.59 ÷ 39 = 8.81 inches per wristband

So, Fabric used for each player = 14.18 inches + 8.81 inches

= 22.99 inches
