Answer:

8.46 gallons needed to be replaced

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the alcohol amount that replaced

-Original has concentration of 15% multiply by the amount of 10 ,which is equal to (0.15×10).

-Removed has concentration of 15% multiply by the amount of x ,which is equal to (0.15 × X).

-Added has concentration of 80% multiply by the amount of X ,which is equal to (0.8× X).

-Solution has concentration of 70% multiply by the amount of 10 ,which is equal to (0.70×10).

So that, the equation will be:

Solution=Original + added - removed

7=1.5+0.8x-0.15x

7-1.5=0.65x

0.65x=55

x=55/0.65

x=8.46

8.46 gallons needed to be replaced.

The relative growth rate for a certain type of bacteria population is 85% per hour. A small culture has formed and in just 2 hou
harkovskaia [24]
Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100                                      = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100                                       = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42   = 3654.97   = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.
