Answer:
20 liters of the 40% solution
60-20=40 liters of the 70% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
40%x+70%(60-x)=60%(60)
0.4x+0.7(60-x)=0.6(60)
0.4x+42-0.7x=36
-0.3x+42=36
-0.3x=-42+36
-0.3x=-6
0.3x=6
3x=60
x=60/3
x=20 liters of the 40% solution
60-20=40 liters of the 70% solution
check: 0.4*20=8
0.7*40=28
8+28=36 and 0.6*60=36 also
Answer:2.5 I just took the test
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write an inequality, such as follows: x < sqrt(50) < y. Square both sides of the equation. We get x^2 < 50 < y^2. Obviously, x is between 7 and 8. Also notice, that for integers a,b, (ab)^2/b^2, equals a^2. So let's try values, like 7.1. Using the previous fact, (7.1)^2, equals (71)^2/100. So, (7.1)^2, equals 50.41. Thus, our number is between 7 and 7.1. We find, with a bit of experimentation, that the square root of 50, is 7.07.
