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.

Pete lives 8 miles from school, which is 80% of the distance Scott lives from school.

6.4 because you have to divide butt first you have to turn 80% to a decimal which is 0.80 then you multiply it by 8 which is 6.4

If A(1,2), B(5,-4) and (-3,2) are the vertices of a triangle, which statement holds true?
Zigmanuir [339]

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. The correct option is A.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. The sum of all the angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°.

The length of different sides are:

AB = \sqrt{(5-1)^2+(-4-2)^2} = \sqrt{16+36} = \sqrt{52}\rm\ units

BC = \sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(2+4)^2} = \sqrt{64+36} = 10\rm\ units

AC = \sqrt{(2-2)^2+(-3-1)^2} = \sqrt{16} = 4\rm\ units

Since the length of all the sides of the triangle is not equal it is a scalene triangle.

Hence, the correct option is A.
