Answer:

The volume or amount of pure cordial to be added to the solution to make the strength 20% is 125 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters, are;

The volume of cordial in the jug = 1 litre

The percentage strength of the cordial = 10%

The proportion of the cordial that contains pure cordial = 0.1

Therefore, the volume of pure cordial in the jug = 0.1 × 1 = 0.1 × 1000 ml = 100 ml

The volume of the solvent = The volume of the solution -  The initial volume of pure cordial

∴ The volume of the solvent = 1000 ml - 100 ml = 900 ml

To increase the concentration of the cordial to 20% is given by the relation;

x/(x+900) = 0.2

Where;

x = The total volume of the pure cordial to be added to the pure solvent

Solving, gives;

x = 0.2×(x+900) = 0.2·x + 180

x -0.2·x = 180

0.8·x = 180

x = 180/0.8 = 225 ml

The total volume of the pure cordial to be added to the pure solvent = x = 225 ml

Therefore, the volume of pure cordial to be added to the initial volume of pure cordial in the solution, which is 100 ml, is therefore given as follows;

The volume or amount of pure cordial to be added = 225 ml - 100 ml = 125 ml.

The volume or amount of pure cordial to be added = 125 ml

Please help 5 questions I need help
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. <2, <7

2. 58

3. 78

4. a and b

h5. <2 and <7 ( i think this is the same question as the first one)

Step-by-step explanation:

2. 2x + 7 = 123 (you have to make them equal to each other because they are consecutive interior angles)

2x + 7 = 123, subtract 7

2x = 116, divide 2 for both sides to make x by itself

x = 58

3. 78 because of consecutive interior angles

Step-by-step explanation:

s = 101x-41+50

-181 = x - 4 +50

-181 = x -54

+ 54

-127 = x
