( * = multiplication/multiply/times ) 
Let x - liters of 10% acid solution needed
4-x = liters of 4% acid solution needed

.1x + .04*(4-x)
-------------------- = .07
           4

.1x + .04*(4-x) = 4*.07
.1x + .16 - .04x = .28
.06x = .12
x=2
4-x=2

2 liters of 10% acid solution are needed
2 liters of 4% acid solution are needed

If you're still uncertain, we can check our work as so: 

.1x + .04*(4-x)
--------------------- = .07
            4

.1 * 2 + .04 * (4-2)
------------------------ = .07
             4

.2 + .08
------------ = .07
     4

.28 = .07 * 4
.28 = .28 

Hope I helped.

Tricia made a circular mat from a square piece of cloth as shown in the diagram below.
kap26 [50]

The option C) 49 inches is the circumference of the circular mat.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • Tricia made a circular mat from a square piece of cloth.
  • The measure of the side length of the square = 14 inches.
  • The length of the side is same as the diameter of the circle.
  • Therefore, the diameter of the circular mat = 14 inches.

<u>To find radius :</u>

Radius = diameter / 2

⇒ 14/2

⇒ 7 inches.

<u>To find the circumference of the circular mat :</u>

Circumference = 2πr

where,

π has the default value of 3.14

r is the radius of the circular mat.

⇒ 2 × 3.14 × 7

⇒ 44 inches.

∴ The circumference of the circular mat is 44 inches.

Since, it is not given in the option. The option C) 49 inches which is close to 44 inches is the right option.

One end of a ladder 32 feet long is placed 10 feet from the outer wall of a building that stands on the ground level. How far up
ladessa [460]

Answer:

30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a classic right triangle problem, where the length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse, where the ladder is lengthwise from the building is the base of the triangle, and what we are looking for is the height of the triangle.  Pythagorean's Theorem will help us find this length.

32^2-10^2=y^2 so

1024 - 100 = y^2 and

y = 30.4 so 30 feet
