to arrive at 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution. How many liters of eac

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

800 liters of 90% saline solution and 1200 liters of 40% saline solution should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution.

Now, to find the number of liters of saline solution each should be used.

Let the liters of 90% saline solution mix be $x.$

And let the liters of 40% saline solution mix be $y.$

So, the total number of liters:

$x+y=2000.$

$y=2000-x\ \ \ ....(1)$

Now, the total percentage of saline solution:

$90\%\ of\ x+40\%\ of\ y=60\%\ of\ 2000$

$\frac{90}{100}\times x+\frac{40}{100}\times y=\frac{60}{100}\times 2000$

$0.9x+0.4y=1200$

Substituting the value of $y$ from equation (1) we get:

$0.9x+0.4(2000-x)=1200$

$0.9x+800-0.4x=1200$

$0.5x+800=1200$

Subtracting both sides by 800 we get:

$0.5x=400$

Dividing both sides by 0.5 we get:

$x=800.$

The liters of 90% saline solution mix = 800.

Now, substituting the value of $x$ in equation (1) to get the liters of 40% saline solution:

$y=2000-x$

$y=2000-800$

$y=1200.$

Thus, the liters of 40% saline solution = 1200.

Therefore, 800 liters of 90% saline solution and 1200 liters of 40% saline solution should be used.

A radioactive substance has a continuous decay rate of 0.056 per minute. How many grams of a 120 gram sample will remain radioac

sammy [17]

Answer:

The mass of the radioactive sample after 40 minutes is 12.8 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the sample can be found by using the exponential decay equation:

$N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}$

Where:

N(t): is the amount of the sample at time t =?

N₀: is the initial quantity of the sample = 120 g

t = 40 min

λ: is the decay constant = 0.056 min⁻¹

Hence, the mass of the sample after 40 min is:

$N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-\lambda t} = 120g*e^{-0.056min^{-1}*40 min} = 12.8 g$

Therefore, the mass of the radioactive sample after 40 minutes is 12.8 g.

I hope it helps you!

Find the length BC

Nady [450]

Answer:

The length of BC = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

15^2 = 9^2 + b^2

225 = 81 + b^2

b^2 = 225 - 81

b^2 = 144

b = 12

The length of BC is 12
