Answer:
-20 units??
Step-by-step explanation:
If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500
litres, and it contains
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375
litres of alcohol.
Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>
<em />
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375
0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375
75 = 0.25<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 300
Solve for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - 300
<em>y</em> = 200
So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.
F - 3/4 = 5/6
Add 3/4 to both sides to get
F = 5/6 + 3/4 = 19/12

Answer:
a 26
b 8 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 4 1/3 * 6
Change the mixed number to an improper fraction
(3*4+1)/3 *6
13/3 *6
= 78/3
= 26
b) 2 3/5 * 3 1/3
Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions
(5*2+3)/5 * (3*3+1)/3
13/5 * 10/3
130/15
Top and bottom divide by 5
26/3
Change back to a mixed number
3 goes into 26 8 times (3*8 =24) with 2 left over
8 2/3
