<u>ANSWER: </u>

170 liters of 10% hydrochloric acid must be mixed with 1700 liters of 65% hydrochloric acid solution to obtain 1870 liters of 60% solution.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

First, set up a table. Fill in the unknowns with variables x and y. The table is attached below

From this, we can easily set up the two equations.  

Sum of values of two acids = Value of mixture  

0.1x + 0.65y = 1122  

For convenience, we'll multiply the entire equation by 100,

10x + 65y = 112200   ------ (1)  

Now, Sum of amounts of each acid = Amount of mixture  

x + y = 1870  ---------(2)

multiply (2) with 10 for easy calculation and derive the equation into one variable.

10x + 10y = 18700  

Subtracting equation (2) from (1),  

( + ) 10x + 65y = 112200

( − ) 10x + 10y = 18700

we get the solution as,

0 + 55y = 93500

Thus, 55y = 93500

y = 1700

Substituting y = 1700 in (2),

x + 1700 = 1870  

x  = 1870 - 1700  

x  = 170  

So, we have x = 170 and y = 1700

We can conclude that 170 liters of 10% hydrochloric acid must be mixed with 1700 liters of 65% hydrochloric acid solution  to obtain 1870 liters of 60% solution.

Order these numbers for lest to greatest 1/2 ,1.1 ,5/3 ,2, 0 ,0.4, -2 ,5/8
Nat2105 [25]

The least number should always start off with negatives if there are any. In this case there is so we can start with -2 as our least amount. Next are the small fractions. If you're allowed a calculator, I would use that to find what the decimals will look like for each fraction:

\frac{1}{2} =0.5\\ \\ \frac{5}{3} =1.6666666666666666666666666666667\\ \\ \frac{5}{8} =0.625

After -2 the next least number is 0 and the next one is the fraction or decimal closest to the number 0 which is 0.4

The next number would be from the fractions we solved earlier. 0.5 and 0.625 would follow 0.4 and then 1.1 and 1.6667(solved for from fraction).

Here is the list:

-2,0,0.4,\frac{1}{2} ,\frac{5}{8} ,1.1,\frac{5}{3}

Hope this helps!
