A scientist needs 60 liters of a 60% acid solution. He currently has a 40% solution and a 70% solution. How many liters of each does he need to make the needed 60 liters of 60% acid solution?

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

Equation:

acid + acid = acid

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

0.40x + 0.70(60-x) = 0.60*60

-----

40x + 70*60 - 70x = 60*60

 

-----

-30x = -10*60

x = 20 liters

----

Gabe needs 20 liters of the 40% solution.

He also needs 40 liters of the 70% solution.

Which best describes the complement of spinning any number less than 3?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

  • <u>The complement of spinning any number less than 3, is spinning a number equal to or greater than 3.</u>

Explanation:

The complement of a subset is the subset of elements that are not in the given subset.

You must know which numbers the spinner has.

Assuming the spinner has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, the complement of spinning any number less than 3, is spinning a number that is not less than 3.

Then, that is spinning a number that is equal to or greater than 3.

The numbers that are equal to  or greater than four, for a spinner that has the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are 3 and 4.

Thus, the complement of spinning any number less than 3 is spinning a three or a four.

Please try to give me the answers
gladu [14]

Answer:

a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  =  \frac{10}{7}  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +  \frac{3}{7}  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +   \frac{1}{\frac{7}{3} }  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +   \frac{1}{2 + \frac{1}{3} }  \\  \\ equating \: like \: terms \: on \: both \: sides \\  \\ a = 1 \\  \\ b = 2 \\  \\ c = 3

What is the property ??
hram777 [196]

The distributive property is being displayed here. The distributive property shows if you have a problem like 3(a+c), it can be converted into 3a+3c. It shows itself in this because it is distributing -2 to both a and b.

Answer: The distributive property is being shown here.

Hope I helped!
