Answer:

1) 2 lbs

2) 0.17 lbs

3) 9.5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of sugar Ella has = 0.5 lbs

Let the amount of water she adds to make the solution = x lbs

So total amount of the mixture would be = (x + 0.5) lbs

Case 1: 20% syrup

20% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 20% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 20% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 20% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.2(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.2, we get:

2.5 = x + 0.5

x = 2 lbs

This means, 2 lbs of water should be added to make 20% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 2.5 lbs.

Case 2: 75% syrup

75% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 75% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 75% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 75% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.75(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.75, we get:

0.67 = x + 0.5

x = 0.17 lbs

This means, 0.17 lbs of water should be added to make 75% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 0.67 lbs.

Case 3: 5% syrup

5% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 5% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 5% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 5% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.05(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.05, we get:

10 = x + 0.5

x = 9.5 lbs

This means, 9.5 lbs of water should be added to make 5% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 10 lbs.

What is the answer to a,b, and c? Thanks!
Katarina [22]

The area of a triangle can be calculated as half the product of base length and height. We want the area to be no greater than 10 in².

a) (1/2)(4)(2x-3) ≤ 10

b) 4x -6 ≤ 10 . . . . . simplify

... 4x ≤ 16 . . . . . . . .add 6

... x ≤ 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

c) The maximum value of (2x -3) in is (2·4 -3) in = 5 in.

The triangle should be no more than 5 in high to have an area less than 10 in².

By applying the law of sines and some algebraic handling, the length of the side LJ is approximately equal to 3.517 units. (Right choice: D)

<h3>What is the missing side of the triangle according to the law of sines?</h3>

The law of sines presents a relationship between sides and <em>opposite</em> angles, which is described below:

9/sin 89° = LJ/sin 23°     (1)

LJ = 9 × sin 23°/sin 89°

LJ ≈ 3.517

By applying the law of sines and some algebraic handling, the length of the side LJ is approximately equal to 3.517 units. (Right choice: D)
