Answer:

1.5gal

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

50% lemon juice + 50% lime juice is the intended mixture.

Therefore, to find quantity that would be added to 20% lemon juice and 80% lime juice, let's assume this to be x.

x of 100% and 4-x gallons of the existing 20% mix

100%x + 20%(4-x) = 50%(4)

1.00x + 0.2(4-x) = 0.5(4)

1.00x + 0.8-0.2x = 2

1.00x-0.2x = 2-0.8

0.8x = 1.2

× = 1.5gal.

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

1.5 gallons of 100% lemon juice added to 2.5 gallons of 20% lemon juice + 80% lime juice to make 4 gallons of the 50% lemon/50% lime juice mixture.

1.5 gallons of 100% lemon juice

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we note

Desired concentration = 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

Available concentration = 100% lemon juice and 20% lemon juice and 80% lime juice

To make  4 gallons of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice Milo requires

20 per 100 lemon requires 60 parts of pure lemon to make 160 parts of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

100 requires 60 to make 160

100/160 requires 60/160 to make one part of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

That is 5/8 gallon of 20 % lemon requires 3/8 gallon of pure lemon to make 1 gallon of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

That is 2.5 gallons of 20 % lemon requires 1.5 gallons of pure lemon to make 4 gallons of 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice

Milo should add 1.5 gallons of 100% lemon juice to 2.5 gallons of a juice mixture that is 20% lemon juice and 80% lime juice to make 4 gallons of the 50% lemon/50% lime juice mixture

Hernan cuts a board that is 7/10 of a meter long After the cut the board is 3/10 of a meter long how long is the piece that he c
Darina [25.2K]

Given that original lenght of the board before cut = \frac{7}{10}meter

Lenght of the board that is left after cutting from the original piece by Hernan = \frac{3}{10}meter


Now we have to find the lenght of the piece which is cut.

To find that we just need to subtract smaller piece from larger piece


Required Length = \frac{7}{10}-\frac{3}{10}meter

Required Length = \frac{7-3}{10}meter

Required Length= \frac{4}{10}meter

reduce the fraction

Required Length = \frac{2}{5}meter


Hence final answer is \frac{2}{5} meter.

Please help me it’s a formative grade
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 800/x=100/17

(800/x)*x=(100/17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

800=5.88235294118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.88235294118) to get x

800/5.88235294118=x

136=x

x=136

83% of 800=664

Samuel has an ant farm with a volume of 375 cubic inches. The width of the ant farm is 2.5 inches and the length is 15 inches. W
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, it is clear that the shape of ant form is rectangular prism.

Let us write formula for volume of rectangular prism (ant form)

V = l x w x h

Use the formula to write an equation.

Plug V = 375, w = 2.5 and l = 15

375 = 15 x 2.5 x h

375 = 37.5 x h

Divide both sides of the equation by 37.5

375/37.5 = (37.5 x h)/37.5

10 = h

Hence, the height of the form is 10 inches.
