Answer:
1. 8 hours 2. 12 pumps
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 80 ×10=800
there are 800 miles between abuja and lagos
800÷100=8
it will take 8 hours
2. with 3 pumps it takes 36 hours. you need to be 4 times quicker so you need 4 times more pumps.
4×3=12 pumps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For mixture problems, it is convenient to define a variable to represent the amount of the greatest contributor. Let x represent the amount of 22% solution in the mix. Then 4.8-x is the amount of 10% solution.
The amount of alcohol in the mix is ...
0.22x +0.10(4.8-x) = 0.12(4.8)
Eliminating parentheses, we have ...
0.22x -0.10x +0.10(4.8) = 0.12(4.8)
Subtracting (0.10)(4.8) and combining x-terms gives ...
0.12x = 0.02(4.8)
x = (0.02/0.12)(4.8) = 0.8 . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient
The scientist needs 0.8 L of 22% solution and 4.0 L of 10% solution.
Amount of interest = 3/100 x 1200
= $36
Answer is B
Answer:
5/2 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio here is 2:6. 2 plus 6 is 8.
Then (2/8) times 10 kg represents the amount of compost needed; that comes to 20/8 kg, or 10/4 kg, or 5/2 kg.
