Answer:
30 gallons of 20% acid solution should be mixed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x gallons of a 20% acid solution was mixed with 30 gallons of a 40% solution, to obtain a mixture of 30% acid solution.
Therefore, final volume of the solution will be (x + 30) gallons.
Now concept to solve this question is
20%.(x) + 40%.(30) = 30%.(x + 30)
0.20(x) + 0.40(30) = 0.30(x + 30)
0.20x + 12 = 0.30x + 9
0.30x - 0.20x = 12 - 9
.10x = 3
x =
x = 30 gallons
Therefore, 30 gallons of the 20% acid solution should be mixed.
Rational exponents
work like this: the numerator is the actual exponent of the base, while the denominator is the index of the root.
In other words, we have
So, in you case, we have

Answer:
A junk box in your room contains fourteen old batteries, seven of which are totally dead.
So, number of good batteries =
a) The first two you choose are both good.
There is a 7/14 chance that we will pick a good battery.
Now there are 13 batteries left and out of that there are only 6 good ones remaining, so this becomes 6/13.
So, combined probability is =
= 0.23
b) At least one of the first three works.
And at least one is good battery, we get :
c) The first four you pick all work.
There is a probability of 7/14 for the first one to work, 6/13 for the second, 5/12 for the third and 4/11 when the fourth is good, combined we get by multiplying all:
d) You have to pick five batteries to find one that works.
This condition means that we pick 4 bad batteries and 1 good battery.
The probability of picking 4 bad batteries is -
Since there are 7 good batteries remaining in 10 batteries so we will multiply 7/10 in 0.0344 to know the fifth one that finally works.
This becomes =
