Answer:

The scientist needs 80 liters of 25% solution and 40 liters of 10% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the liters of 25% solution, and y is the liters of 10% solution, then:

x + y = 120

0.25x + 0.10y = 0.20(120)

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

0.25x + 0.10(120 − x) = 0.20(120)

0.25x + 12 − 0.10x = 24

0.15x = 12

x = 80

y = 40

The scientist needs 80 liters of 25% solution and 40 liters of 10% solution.

14/2 three equivalent ratios
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Three equivalent ratios of  \frac{14}{2} are \frac{7}{1}, \frac{21}{3} and \frac{28}{8}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a fraction \frac{14}{2}.

We need to find the three equivalent ratios/fractions of \frac{14}{2}.

The common factor of 14 and 2 is 2.

So, dividing top and bottom by 2, we get

14÷2 = 7 and 2÷2 that is \frac{7}{1}.

Multiplying \frac{7}{1} fraction by a common number 3 in top and bottom, we get

7 × 3 = 21

1 × 3 = 6

So, we get another equivalent fraction \frac{21}{6}.

Multiplying \frac{7}{1} fraction by a common number 3 in top and bottom, we get

7 × 4 = 28

1 × 4 = 4

So, we get another equivalent fraction \frac{28}{4}.

Therefore, three equivalent ratios of  \frac{14}{2} are \frac{7}{1}, \frac{21}{3} and \frac{28}{4}.
