Let t, f, and s be the amount of 25%, 40%, and 60% solutions used.

We are told s=3f.  The general equation is:

100(0.25t+0.4f+0.6s)/(t+s+f)=45, and using s=3f  we have:

(0.25t+0.4f+1.8f)/(t+4f)=0.45

(0.25t+2.2f)/(t+4f)=0.45

0.25t+2.2f=0.45t+1.8f  

0.25t+0.4f=0.45t

0.4f=0.2t

t=2f, remembering that s=3f, will allow us to solve for f

t+s+f=60, using t and s from above

2f+3f+f=60

6f=60

f=10 L then

s=3f=30 L  and t=2f=20L

So 20L of 25%, 10L of 40%, and 30L of 60% acid solutions need to be mixed to make 60L of 45% acid solution.

What are the complementary and supplementary angles of 120?
IgorC [24]
Complementary angles mean the angles add up to 80 and Supplementary angles mean the angles add up to 180. So 120 doesn't have those kinds of angle pairs. The only combo i can think of is 40,40,40.

Answer:

\dfrac{49}{4} = 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

4^{x-1} =

= (2^2)^{x - 1}

= 2^{2(x - 1)}

= 2^{2x - 2}

= 2^{x + x - 2}

= 2^x \times 2^x \times 2^{-2}

= 7 \times 7 \times \dfrac{1}{2^2}

= \dfrac{49}{4} = 12.25
