Let 'a' be the number of ounces of 2%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture
and 'b' be the number of ounces of 5%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture.
Since, fluid ounces of each concentration should be combined to make 25 fl oz.
So, a+b=25 (Equation 1)
And, a container of 2% acid solution and a container of 5% acid solution should be combined to make 25 fl oz of 3.2% acid solution.
So, a of 2% + b of 5% = 3.2% of 25
Multiplying the above equation by 100, we get
(Equation 2)
Substituting the value of a=25-b in equation 2, we get
Since, a=25-b
a= 25-10
a=15.
So, 15 fluid ounces of 2% solution combined with 10 ounces of the 5% solution to create a 25-ounce mixture at 3.2% concentration of acid.
Answer:
Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,
Water pressure is the dependent quantity
Step-by-step explanation:
An independent quantity is a variable that can be changed in an experiment. While, dependent quantity results from the independent quantity or we can say, that depends upon the independent quantity.
Here,
The water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level,
So, for measuring the water pressure we took depth below sea level as a variable,
⇒ Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,
While, with increasing depth by 1 foot the pressure is also increase by 0.44 pounds per square inches ⇒ pressure depends upon the depth
⇒ Water pressure is the dependent quantity.
Answer:
formula: a squared + b squared= c squared
6 squared+ 8 squared= c squared
36+64= c squared
100= c squared
Square root both sides
You get 10= c
