Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is A
Answer:
Pool A.
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved through ratios. You would write it as
So,
for the first one, and
for the second. You might want to use a calculator for that part, but you could also change the gallons to cups, which gives you a much better number of 10.515. So,
, and
So, pool A is at a faster rate. If you want it in gallons per minute, it's by 0.01 (with the 1 repeating) gallons per minute. By cups, it's 0.17525 cups per minute.
(The reason I did not do this by cross multiplying and dividing ratios is because it gives you the exact same answer if you are finding it per one, as I am here with per one minute. You can do it this way, it just wastes a bit of time.)
Suppose you add x liters of pure water to the 10 L of 25% acid solution. The new solution's volume is x + 10 L. Each L of pure water contributes no acid, while the starting solution contains 2.5 L of acid. So in the new solution, you end up with a concentration of (2.5 L)/(x + 10 L), and you want this concentration to be 10%. So we have

and so you would need to add 15 L of pure water to get the desired concentration of acid.
