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.

What is the length of the interval of solutions to the inequality 1≤3-4x≤9?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: -3 ≤ x ≤ -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ≤ 3 - 4x ≤ 9

1 + 3 ≤ - 4x ≤ 9 + 3; Add 3 on all sides

4 ≤ -4x ≤ 12

1 ≤ -x ≤ 3; Divide 4 on all sides

-1 ≥ x ≥ -3; Multiply -1 on all sides(FYI: When multiplying or dividing negative numbers in inequalities, make sure to reverse the signs as well)
