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.

Find the value of x when y equals -7.<br>2(3x - 7) = 9y​
Ber [7]

Hey there!


2(3x - 7) = 9y

2(3x - 7) = 9(-7)

2(3x - 7) = -63

2(3x) + 2(-7) = -63

6x - 14 = -63

ADD 14 to BOTH SIDES

6x - 14 + 13 = -63 + 13

SIMPLIFY IT!
6x = -63 + 13

6x = -49

DIVISION 6 to BOTH SIDES

6x/6 = -49/6

SIMPLIFY!
x = -49/6

x = -8 1/6


Therefore, the answer should be:

x = -8 1/6 (or x = -49/6 [EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD BE YOUR RESULT BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH EQUAL TO EACH OTHER])


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Mark cycles from home to school at a speed of 16 kilometers per hour. He cycles back on the
katrin [286]

Answer:

Write a time equation, time = dist/speed

:

go time + return time = total time

d%2F16 + d%2F15 = 7.75 hrs

multiply equation by the least common multiple 240, cncel the denominators:

 

15d + 16d = 240(7.75)

31d = 1860

d = 1860/31

d = 60 km one way

total dist = 120 km

:

Check this, find the actual time each way

60/16 = 3.75 hrs

60/15 = 4 hrs

-----------------

total time 7.75 hrs

Which property would allow you to use mental computation to simplify the problem 27 + 15 + 3 + 5? additive identity additive inv
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive Identity: If you add a real number to zero or add zero to a real number, then you get the same real number back.

Additive Inverse: When you add the same number but reversed sign, you get 0.

Commutative Property: a + b = b + a

Addition distributive property: a(b+ c) = ab + ac.

In this case, we use the commutative property:

27 + 15 + 3 + 5 = 27 + 3 + 15 + 5.

We know that 27 + 3 = 30 and 15 + 5 = 20, so we get 50 quickly using mental math.
