The chemist mixes 3 ML of limestone for every 5 L of water. if she uses 35 L of water how much limestone should she use?

1 answer:

7 0

To find the amount of limestone to add, you will set up a proportion of the amount of limestone to the amount of water.

Limestone 3 ml x 7 x
Water 5 L x 7 35 L

To solve for x, multiply 3 and 7 to get 21.

The chemist will need 21 milliliters of limestone.

What is the sum if the first 22 terms of the following series? 86 + 79 + 72 + 65 +58+...

Arturiano [62]

Seems to be an arythmetic sequence
Sn=[n(a1+an)]/2
where
Sn means sum of all terms up the nth term
n=number of terms
a1=first term
an=nth term

so from 86 to the 22th term is from a1 to a22

find teh sequence
miknus 7 each time
an=a1+d(n-1)
an=87-7(n-1)
find 22n term
a22=87-7(22-1)
a22=87-7(21)
a22=87-147
a22=-60

S22=[22(87-60)]/2
S22=[22(27)]/2
S22=594/2
S22=297

the sum is 297

Solve the equation. Identify any extraneous solutions

Lelu [443]

Squaring both sides of the given equation: w^2=7w, or w^2-7w=0.

w^2-7w=0 can be factored: w(w-7)=0. Then, w=7 or w=0. Both 0 and 7 are solutions of this equation.

5x+20y=4 x=-4y+1 Solve for x/y

Andrews [41]

Hi there!

Looks like a lot of work is going on here.

Let's start by solving this equation for the x.

$5x + 20y = 4$
