In the lab, Austin has two solutions that contain alcohol and is mixing them with each other. He uses 3 times as much Solution A

as Solution B. Solution A is 12% alcohol and Solution B is 20% alcohol. How many milliliters of Solution B does he use, if the resulting mixture has 244 milliliters of pure alcohol?

Austin uses 435.714 milliliters of solution B to get a resulting mixture that has 244 milliliters of pure alcohol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume solution B has 1x ml of liquid in it. As solution A has three times that of solution B, it has 3x ml of liquid.

Step 2; In solution A there is 12% of alcohol and solution B has 20% alcohol. So alcohol content in solution A is 12% of 3x = 0.12 x 3x and the alcohol content in solution B is 20% of x= 0.20 x 1x.

Step 3; Use this formula

Concentration percent= \frac{(volume of solute)}{(volume of solution)} * 100

 here Volume of solute is the total of solution A and B= (0.12 x 3x) + (0.20 x 1x) which equals 0.56x. The volume of solution is 3x + 1x which equals 4x. Substituting numerator and denominators we get a volume of 14%.

Step 4;This 14% is the concentration of alcohol in the mixture of solution A and solution B which is given as 244 ml. If 14% is 244 ml then 100% equals 1742.857 milliliters. The total of solution A and B equal 4x which is 1742.857 milliliters. So we get solution A has 1307.1428 milliliters and solution B has 435.71428 milliliters of liquid.

Two trains travel at right angles to each other after leaving the same train station at the same time. Two hours later they are
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

15 miles per hour is the speed of the slower train.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the figure attached,

Let the speed of train 1 is v and train 2 is u.

Therefore, distance traveled in 2 hours by train 1 will be = 2v miles

and distance traveled by train 2 will be = 2u miles

Now we can see in the figure a right angle triangle is formed by the two trains.

AB² + BC² = AC²

(2v)² + (2u)²= (65.30)²

4v² + 4u² = 4264.09

Now we divide this equation by 4

v² + u² = 1066.02

If speed of the slower train is v miles per hour then as per statement of the question.

u = v - 14

v = u + 14

By putting the value of v in the equation

(u + 14)² + u² = 1066

u² + 196 + 28u + u² = 1066

2u² + 28u + 196 = 1066

2u² + 28u + 196 - 1066 = 0

2u² + 28u - 870 = 0

By diving this equation by 2

u² + 14u - 435 = 0

u² + 29u - 15u - 435 = 0

u(u + 29) - 15(u + 29) = 0

(u + 29)(u - 15) = 0

u = -29, 15

Since speed can not be with negative notation so u = 15 miles per hour will be the speed.

Therefore, 15 miles per hour is the speed of the slower train.
