I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
Log(1,000) = 3
3 is the correct answer.
Answer:
1 7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 - 1 4/5 = ?
3 5/10 - 1 8/10 = ?
2 5/10 - 8/10 = ?
1 15/10 - 8/10 = 1 7/10
Find the area of the larger rectangle.
5 x 4 = 20
One of the triangles is 2 x 2. Area of 2. Subtract 2 from 20.
20 - 2 = 18
Another is 2 x 5. Area of 5. Subtract 5 from 18.
18 - 5 = 13
The last is 3 x 4. Area of 6. Subtract 6 from 13.
13 - 6 = 7
The area of the triangle QRS is A, 7.
Hope this helps!
