Suppose 15 quarts of a solution that is 35% antifreeze is mixed with 5 quarts of a solution that is 72% antifreeze. 1.how many q
1 answer:
Answer:
1. 8.85 quarts
2. 44.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
In 15 quarts of a solution with percentage of antifreeze = 35%
Amount of antifreeze = 35% × 15
= 0.35 × 15
= 5.25 quarts
that solution is mixed with 5 quarts of a solution with percentage of antifreeze = 72%
Amount of antifreeze = 72% × 5
= 0.72 × 5
= 3.6 quarts
Total amount of mixture = 15 quarts + 5 quarts = 20 quarts
1. Now we will calculate the total amount of antifreeze in the resulting mixture.
= 5.25 + 3.6 = 8.85 quarts
2. The percentage of the resulting mixture is antifreeze
=
= 44.25%
1. total amount of antifreeze is 8.85 quarts
2. the percentage of antifreeze is 44.25%

Answer: b. Lin buys a pack of 87 pencils. She gives 39 to her teacher and shared the remaining pencils between herself and 3 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lin buys 87 pencils which is why the entire number line adds up to 87.
She gave 39 of these pencils to her teacher which s why there is a section of the number line that is unlike the rest and is 39 in number.
The rest of the number line is a set of 4 spaces which are equal.
Lin shared the remaining pencils between herself and 3 friends which means she shared the pencils with 4 people. These four equal quantities of pencils are the 4 spaces.
