Answer:
20% alcohol = 1 gal
10% alcohol = 9 gal
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = 20% alcohol
y = 10% alcohol
x + y = 10 (1)
0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11
0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)
From (1)
x = 10 - y
Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)
0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1
0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1
2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1
- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2
-0.10y = -0.9
y = -0.9/-0.10
y = 9 gal
substitute y = 9 into (1)
x + y = 10
x + 9 = 10
x = 10 - 9
x = 1 gal
20% alcohol = 1 gal
10% alcohol = 9 gal
6,12,8,10,16
6+6=12-4=8+6=14-4=10+6=6
The pattern I noticed is it adds 6 and then it minus 4.
Answer:
It would take them 6 hours to fill an empty tank.
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the amount of time it takes Pipe A and Pipe B to fill an empty tank together (5 + 7) and then divide your sum by two. You should get 12 / 2 = 6.
