ogether in order to have 200 mL of a 20% alcohol solution?​

x = volume of 10% solution to use in the mixture

y = volume of 25% solution to use

She wants a 200 mL solution, so x + y = 200.

The first solution contributes 0.10x mL of alcohol, while the second contributes 0.25y mL. Together, they make a solution with 0.20(x + y) = 0.20(200) = 40 mL of alcohol.

\begin{cases}x+y=200\\0.10x+0.25y=50\end{cases}\implies x=\dfrac{200}3,y=\dfrac{400}3

Resident always seems to have a dirty truck his girlfriend gave him a gift card to car wash after three carwashes rest at 61.75
Llana [10]
I’m thinking it’s $100. I guessed 100 first as that is a pretty common number and subtracted 61.75. I was left with 38.25 and I divided that by 3, the amount of washes. I got $12.75 but I had to check since I guessed 100. I then subtracted 23.50 from 100 and got 76.5. I divided that by 6, the amount of washes, and got 12.75 again. So I’m pretty sure that there was $100 on the gift card before he washes his car six times, each wash being $12.75.

New Clarendon Park is undergoing renovations to its gardens. One garden that was originally a square is being adjusted so that o
frosja888 [35]
The answer is 80 square meters.

The square area is expressed as:
A = a²,
where A is the area of the square, and a is the side of the square.

The rectangle area is expressed as:
A₁ = a₁ · b₁,
where A₁ is the area of the rectangle, and a₁ and b₁ are the sides of the rectangle.

After renovations, square garden becomes rectangular.

One side is doubled in length:
a₁ = 2a

The other side is decreased by three meters.
b₁ = a - 3

The new area is 25% than the original square garden:
A₁ = A + 25%A =
     = A + 25/100·A
     = A + 1/25·A
     = a² + 1/25·a²
     = <span>a² + 0.25·a²
</span>     = 1.25·a²

If the starting equation is:
A₁ = a₁ · b₁

Thus, the equation is:
1.25a² = 2a·(<span>a - 3)
</span>1.25a² = 2a · a - 2a · 3
1.25a² = 2a² - 6a

<span>Therefore, the equation that could be used to determine the length of a side of the original square garden is:
</span><u>2a² - 6a = </u><span><u>1.25a²</u></span>


Now, we will solve the equation:
2a² - 6a = 1.25a²
2a² - 1.25a² - 6a = 0
0.75a² - 6a = 0
⇒ a(0.75a - 6) = 0

From here, one of the multiplier must be zero - either a or (0.75a - 6). Since a could not be zero, (0.75a - 6) is:
0.75a - 6 = 0
0.75a = 6
a = 6 ÷ 0.75
a = 8

If the side of the square is 8, then the area of the rectangle is
A₁ = 1.25 · a²
A₁ = 1.25 ·8²
A₁ = 1.25 · 64
A₁ = 80

Therefore, the area of the new rectangle garden is 80 square meters.

Help! ASAP pls There is a frog dead in the center of the pond on a lily pad. The pond is 7 meters in diameter. There are 6 lily
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Approximately 2 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frog can only jump 3 lily pads each day.

24 hours = 1 day

\frac{24}{3} = 8 hours

Thus, it would take the frog 8 hours to cover a lily pad.

To get to the edge of the pond, the frog would jump through 6.5 lily pads (since he is at the middle of a lily pad at the center of the pond).

So that;

Total time required to get to the edge of the pond can be determined by;

6.5 × 8 hours = 52 hours

Number of days to get to the edge of the pond = \frac{52}{24}

                                                                    = 2.2

It would take him approximately 2 days to get to the edge of the pond.
