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.

How can a translation and a reflection be used to map ΔHJK to ΔLMN? Translate K to N and reflect across the line containing HJ.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

<u>Translate K to N and reflect across the line containing JK. </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure.

From the figure, we can deduce the following:

∠K = ∠N

JK = MN

HK = LN

So, N will be the image of K

By translating K to N, The segment JK will over-lap the segment MN,

Then, we need to reflect the point H across the the line containing JK to get the point L

So, the translation and a reflection that will be used to map ΔHJK to ΔLMN:

<u>Translate K to N and reflect across the line containing JK. </u>

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

  2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

  5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

  = 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

  \dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad-bc}{bd}
