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

\dfrac{2.5}{x+10}=0.1\implies25=x+10\implies x=15

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

Mei does 6 problems in 18 minutes. How many can she complete in 12 minutes
Dmitriy789 [7]
Do cross multiplication

  <u>6</u>  =  <u>x</u>
 18    12

Now cross multiply

(6)(12) = (18)(x)

       72 = 18x

Divide both sides by 18
     
    
     <u>72</u>  = <u>18x</u>
     18      18

      4   = x

So tMei can complete 4 problems in 12 minutes.

Estimate. Then find the product 7 x 456
Novosadov [1.4K]

3,500 is the best estimate if you multiply 7 by round 456 to 500 so 7x500=3,500

Evaluate the expression for the given value of y -y(y-3); y=-1
zzz [600]

Evaluate -y (y - 3) where y = -1:

-y (y - 3) = -(-(-1 - 3))

(-1)^2 = 1:

-1 - 3

-1 - 3 = -(1 + 3):

-(1 + 3)

1 + 3 = 4:

Answer:  -4
