Bacteria begins to grow on the water's surface in a non-operational swimming pool on September 20. The bacteria grows and covers

the water's surface in such a way that the area covered with bacteria doubles every day. If it continues to grow in this way, the water's surface will be entirely covered with bacteria on September 28. When will a quarter of the water's surface be covered?

Bill wants to make 10Lcof a 30% saline solution by mixing together a 60% saline solution and a 10% saline solution. How much of
erastovalidia [21]

10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of  10 % saline solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of liters of 60% saline solution

Now we require 10 L of 30% saline solution.

Liter soln %  liters  saline %  

30 %                 10        0.3  

60 %                   x        0.6

10 %                  10-x      0.1

Now forming the algebraic equation,

0.6x + 0.1 (10-x) = 10 (0.3)

0.6x + 1 - 0.1 x  = 3

0.5 x = 2

x = 4 ( 4 l of 60 % solution is required. So 10 % saline solution required is 10 - 4 = 6 L).

Hence, 10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of  10 % saline solution.
