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

4 \sin(x + 30)  = 2 \\  \sin(x + 30 ) =  \frac{2}{4}   \\  \sin(x + 30)  =  \frac{1}{2}  \\  \sin(x + 30)  =  \sin(30)  \\ x + 30 = 30 \\ x = 30 - 30 \\ x = 0

Hence, x = 0°, 180° and 360° <em><u>Ans</u></em>

Toni can carry up to 18 lb in her backpack. Her lunch weighs 1 lb, her gym clothes weigh 2 lb, and her books (b) weigh 3 lb each
MrRissso [65]
<span>Toni can carry five books in her backpack. You must start by subtracting the weight of the other required items. Toni's lunch which is one pound and gym clothes which are two pounds. This can be calculated by 18-1-2=15. Toni has 15 pounds left to carry books. She should divide this by the weight of each book, which is three pounds. 15/3=5. Therefore, Toni can carry five books.</span>
