Volume of first oil = A, volume of second oil = B, volume of mixture = M
A = ?, B = 4l, M = A + B

40%A + 25%B = 30%M
40%A + 25%4l = 30%(A+4l)
<span>40%A + 25%4l = 30%A + 30%4l
40A + 100l = 30A + 120l
40A - 30 A = 120l - 100l
10A = 20l
A = 2l
</span>
Answer: 2 litres of 40% oil dressing.

Also note: That's an approximation, because the volumes are not strictly additive. For example: mixing 50ml pure ethanol with 50ml water will give you about 95ml of mixture. To get an accurate answer, you'd have to measure the volume of the final mixture and then divide your total oil content by that<span>.</span>

Given that the product of 22 integers is equal to 1, prove that their sum is not equal to 0.
Kay [80]

1. If the product of these integers is to be 1, then all of them must be either 1 or -1.

2. Since the product is positive (+1), it must be that there are an *even* number of negative ones (-1), if any.

3. If the sum were 0 it would mean that the number of +1's must equal the number of -1's. So that means there would have to be exactly 22/2=11 of each.

4. But if there were 11 of each, that means the number of -1's would be *odd* and there's no way the product could be +1 (as stated in 2 above).

Hence, the sum is never 0, if the product of 22 integers is equal +1.
