Answer:
3 days
Step-by-step explanation:
20/6 is 3.333
If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500
litres, and it contains
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375
litres of alcohol.
Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>
<em />
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375
0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375
75 = 0.25<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 300
Solve for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - 300
<em>y</em> = 200
So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.
Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 6
k = 
= 
y = x ← equation of variation
When x = 5, then
y = × 5 =
Answer:
80%; 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
There is 5 blue marbles, 2 black marbles, and 3 red marbles. In other words, there is a total of 10 marbles.
There are only 2 black marbles and 8 marbles that are not black. Therefore, the probability of <em>not</em> drawing a black marble is 8/10 or 4/5 or 80%.
There are only 3 red marbles out of the 10 total marbles. Therefore, the probability of drawing a red marble is 3/10 or 30%.
