Answer:

120 liters of 60% alcohol solution is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

x liters of 60% alcohol solution  is added

so, we  get solution as

=\frac{60}{100}\times x

=0.6x

we are given

40 liters of a 20% alcohol solution is

=40\times\frac{20}{100}

=40\times\frac{20}{100}

=8

so, total alcohol solution is

=8+0.6x

now, we can find total solutions

total solutions is

=x+40

now, it is making 50% solution

so, we get

\frac{8+0.6x}{x+40} =\frac{50}{100}

now, we can solve for x

\left(8+0.6x\right)\cdot \:100=\left(x+40\right)\cdot \:50

800+60x=50x+2000

10x=1200

x=120

So,

120 liters of 60% alcohol solution is needed

A clock tower has a circular clock face with an area of 144pi square feet. What is the diameter of the clock face? Teacher wants
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

d = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by A = π * r²

We are told the area of the clock is 144π.

Let's clear the formula for the radius:

r² = A / π

r² = 144π / π

r² = 144

r = √144

r = 12

The diameter is two times the radius, d = 2r = 2*12 = 24.

Answer:

3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

  • First we just convert the angle from radians to degrees
  • \frac{31\pi radians }{6}*\frac{180degrees}{\pi radians}  =\frac{31*180}{6} degrees=930degrees
  • Now that's too big, all this means is if we start rotating from the positive y-axis in a circle we will cross the starting point 2 times, 2 full circles;
  • 930degrees-360degrees=570degrees\\570degrees-360degrees=210degrees  
  • Now in which quadrant it 210 degrees?
  • 0 degrees to 90 degrees is 1st quadrant
  • 90 degrees to 180 degrees is 2nd quadrant
  • 180 degrees to 270 degrees is 3rd quadrant
  • 270 degrees to 360 degrees is 4th quadrant
  • So our answer is the 3rd quadrant.

3y + 5z + 8y - 3z<br><br> A: 11y + 5z<br> B: 14y + 2z<br> C: 14y + 8z<br> D: 16yz

Combine like terms:
<span>3y + 5z + 8y - 3z = (3y + 8y) + (5z - 3z) = 11y + 2z

So you would choose A confidently

The formula for converting degrees Fahrenheit (F) to degrees Kelvin (K) is:
drek231 [11]

K = F + 459.67

Subtract K on both sides:

0 = F - K + 459.67

Subtract F on both sides:

-F = -K + 459.67

Divide each term by -1 so that the variables are positive:

F = K - 459.67

PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN STEP BY STEP.​
SIZIF [17.4K]

A. The two listed added up will be 180 degrees.

5x - 57 + 3x + 5 = 180

8x - 52 = 180

8x - 52 + 52 = 180 + 52

8x = 232

x = 29

B. The two listed added up will be 180 degrees.

2x + 4x + 150 = 180

6x + 150 = 180

6x + 150 - 150 = 180 - 150

6x = 30

x= 5
