Set up a proportion.

pounds / milligrams of medicine

195/279 = 130/x

195x = 279 times 130
195x =36,270
x = 36,270/195
x = 186

A patient weighing 130 pounds needs 186 milligrams of medicine.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

y = 9√3

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

taking 30 as reference angle

b = y

p = 9

h = x

so

tan30 = p/b

1/√3 = 9/b

or, b = 9√3

so

h^2 = p^2 + b^2\\x^2 = 9^2 + y^2\\or, x^2 = 81 + (9\sqrt{3} )^2\\or, x^2 = 81 + 243\\or, x ^2 = 324\\or, x =\sqrt{324} \\\\so x = 18

How many gallons each of 20​% alcohol and 10​% alcohol should be mixed to obtain 10gal of 11​% ​alcohol?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 20​% alcohol

y = 10​% alcohol

x + y = 10 (1)

0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)

From (1)

x = 10 - y

Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1

0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1

2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1

- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2

-0.10y = -0.9

y = -0.9/-0.10

y = 9 gal

substitute y = 9 into (1)

x + y = 10

x + 9 = 10

x = 10 - 9

x = 1 gal

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal
