Answer:

<em>It took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The patch grows to double its size everyday

the patch completely covers the lake in 32 days

Since the patch doubles itself everyday, this means that the previous day before the 32nd day, the lake was just half covered.

Therefore, the the patch covered half the lake on the 31st day, i.e <em>it took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

<em></em>

Anna-Maria has added 4 quarts of an alcohol in water solution to 1 quart of water and her ending product is a 36% alcohol in wat
fomenos
The concentration of solution would be the amount of the molecule divided by the volume. In this case, the solution concentration is 36% and the volume is 4 quarts + 1 quarts= 5 quarts. You are asked the concentration before 1 quarts added. The alcohol content should be same for both solutions. The answer should be:

concentration = alcohol content/ volume
alcohol content =concentration * volume
alcohol content1 =alcohol content2
36% * 5 quarts = concentration2 * 4quarts
concentration2= 36% * 5 quarts / 4 quarts= 45%

Someone pls help me plsss
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A) 2 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The word <u>MORE </u>refers to subtraction. If you know how to calculate fractions. Great! You should know what 2 3/4 - 1/3 equals. But if you do not:

You can use a regular calculator. Just convert everything to decimals. ( "/" means divide)

3/4 (3÷4) = 0.75 (dont forget the 2 since is has 2 3/4) so 2.75.

1/3 (1÷3) = 0.33<u>3 </u>(underline or overline (above the number) means that number repeats. if you are using a calculator. just max the numbers out till you can put it anymore.

2.75 - 0.<u>3</u> = 2.41<u>6</u>. Now you dont know what that 416 is so just subtract the answers until it matches.

B) 1 ÷ 12 = 0.8<u>3. </u> well it isnt 416 so that isnt right.

4 ÷ 7 = 0.571... (... means a bunch of numbers that go on and on.) again that isnt correct. Now lets try A):

5 ÷ 12 = 0.41<u>6</u>!

Hope this helps!
