Given:
The race percent of population is
White:      45%
Hispanic: 27%
Black:       18%
Asian:        7%
Other:        3%

Part a.
The university has 2,815 Hispanic out of the 20,250 total population.
This is equivalent to (2815/20250)*100 = 13.9%
This percentage is less than 27%, so Hispanics do not have proportional representation.

Answer: The Hispanic students do not have proportional representation.

Part b.
Let x =  the extra number of Hispanic students needed for proportional representation of 27% or 0.27.
Then
(2815 + x)/20250 = 0.27
2815 + x = 20250*0.27 = 5467.5
x = 5467.5 - 2815 = 2652.5

This means that 2,653 extra Hispanic students are required for a population of 20,250 students.

Answer: 2,653 extra Hispanic students.

Two solutions of differently concentrations of acid are mixed creating 40 mL of a soul union that is 32% acid one-quarter of the
AleksAgata [21]

Answer: Three quarters (30 ml) is made up of a 36% acid solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total amount of solution = 40 ml

One- quarter of the solution is given by

\frac{1}{4}\times 40\ ml\\\\=10\ ml

Three-quarter of the solution is given by

\frac{3}{4}\times 40\\\\=30\ ml

According to question, we have

10 ml of solution is made up of = 20% of acid solution

30 ml of solution is made up of = say<em> 'c </em>' of acid solution

40 ml of solution is made up of = 32 % of acid solution

So, our equation becomes,

10\times 0.2+30\times c=40\times 0.32\\\\2+30c=12.8\\\\30c=12.8-2\\\\30c=10.8\\\\c=\frac{10.8}{30}\\\\c=0.36\\\\c=36\%

Hence,  three quarters (30 ml) is made up of a 36% acid solution.
