Answer:
A. 605 mL of the 35% solution
B. 55 mL of the 95% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, you need 660 mL of a 40% alcohol solution. On hand, you have 35% alcohol mixture. You also have a 95% alcohol mixture.
Let x and y be the amount of 35% alcohol solution and 95% alcohol solution (in mL) respectively.
So,
Amount equation:
...(1)
Alcohol equation :
...(2)
On solving (1) and (2), we get
Now, substitute y=55 in (1).
Therefore, we need 605 mL of the 35% solution and 55 mL of the 95% solution.
As they are similar corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so
18/15 = x / 4
x = 4*18 / 15
x = 4.8 answer
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for a, you must get a by itself on one side of the equation. Now, a is "joined" to m by multiplication. To "separate" them, use the inverse operation, division.
Divide both sides of the equation by m.
