If the alcohol is absolute alcohol to make 1 gallon (4 quarts), then mix in 3 quarts water and 1 quart alcohol.

However, most of the time, alcohol comes in 96.5% alcohol, then we will define x=volume of alcohol in gal, then 1-x=volume of water, and solve following equation for x:
0.965x+(1-x)*0=0.25
x=0.25*0.965=0.259 gal
will need 0.259 gal of 96.5% alcohol and 0.741 gal. of water.

A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 5.5 feet and each successive bounce is 64% of the previous

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

0.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be convenient to let a spreadsheet compute the values for you. Here, we have written an explicit formula for the height of the n-th bounce:

h = 5.5×0.64^(n-1)

We have written the formula this way because we are given the height of the first bounce, not the starting height. Each bounce multiplies the height by a factor of 0.64. Then the 7th bounce will have a height of ...

h = 5.5×0.64^6 ≈ 0.378 ≈ 0.4 . . . . feet

A student ID number is a letter of the alphabet followed by 2 digits. How many different IDs are possible if the digits can be r

mars1129 [50]

First, there are 26 distinct alphabets and 10 distinct digit numbers.

Then, the first digit of ID has 26 possibilities.

For the rest of 2 digits, the total cases are 10*10 = 100 possibilities.

However, there are 10 cases are repeated when two digits are the same. so you have to subtract it by 10

So answer will be 26 * (100-10) = 23400
