Answer:

  • 26 ounces of 55% solution
  • 104 ounces of 80% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...

  0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130

  0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)

  x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104

  130-x = 26

She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.

3 L of water of density 1 gram per centimetre cubed is added to 12litres of alcohol of density of 0.8 gram per centimetre cubed,
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

each liter is 1000 cubic centimetre, so you have a total density of 3000, but instead think of 3 liters being 100% density and think of alcohol as 80% density, there are 4 times at much 80% than 100% liquid.

with 3 liters of alcohol, 3 liters of water is now 90% density or 0.9 gram per centimetre. add another 3 liters and it is 2/3, so the grams per centimetre would be 8.66667 or 8 2/3's

if you add another 3 liters, THEN it is 85%

add 12 liters in total and the final answer 84%

What is 4 to the 6th power over 4 to the 8th power?
andreev551 [17]

4⁶ / 4⁸

Since the 'bases' are the same on top and bottom, you can
just subtract the bottom exponent from the top one.

4⁶ / 4⁸
= 4⁶⁻⁸
= 4⁻²
= 1/4²
= 1/16
