Let
be the amount (gal) of the 40% slime solution you end up using. You want to end up with 120 gal of the 50% solution, so that you would use
gal of the 70% solution.
You want the final solution to consist of 50% slime, or 60 gal of slime. Each gal of the 40% solution contributes 0.4 gal of slime, while each gal of the 70% solution contributes 0.7 gal of slime. This means




so the answer is B.
-23 over 5 ÷ 11 over 5
-23 × 5 over 5 × 5
-115 over 55
Therefore, your answer would be: -2 and 1 over 11
Answer:
The answer is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2+(-5/6)= 1 1/3
1 1/3 + 1/4= 1 7/12
Answer:
Daniel (now) is 3 years old, (2 years ago) is 1 year old.
Kevin (now) is 6 years old, (2 years ago) is 4 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Now:
-Kevin: k = d + 3
-Daniel: d
2 years ago:
-Kevin: k - 2 = 4(d - 2)
-Daniel: d - 2
We have the equation:
(k - 2) + 2 = k
4(d - 2) + 2 = d + 3
4d - 8 + 2 = d + 3
3d - 6 = 3
3d = 9
d = 3
k = d + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6
