184 milliliters of the first brand and 46 milliliters of the second brand

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let x be the number of milliliters of the first brand in the final mixture

Since the chef requires 230 milliliters, 230 - x would be the milliliters of dressing of the second brand

Step 2:

The first brand contains 6% vinegar, and the second brand contains 11% vinegar

Hence we have,

x * 6/100 + (230-x) * 11/100 = 230 * 7/100

0.06 x + 25.3 - 0.11 x = 16.1

0.05x = 9.2 => x = 184

Hence the 184 milliliters of the first brand is to be used

Step 3 :

Quantity of the second brand to be used is 230 - x = 230 -184 = 46 milliliters.

A triangular flag has an area of 187.5 square inches. The base of the flag measures 25 inches. How tall is the triangular flag?
german
15 inches
the formula for the area of a triangle is Area=(1/2)(base)(height)
since the problem is looking for the height, we can rewrite it as
 Height=(Area)/((1/2)(Base))
then the number must be substituted in
Height=(187.5)/((1/2)(25))
and the answer is 15 inches.
