Answer:

5.6 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take x gallons of 25% grape juice then it will contain \frac{x}{4} gallons of pure grape juice.

Again, if we take y gallons of 75% grape juice then it will contain \frac{3y}{4} gallons of pure grape juice.

If we mix them then the total volume will become x + y = 7 gallons  ...... (1)

Again the mixture will become 35% juice.

So, \frac{\frac{x}{4} +\frac{3y}{4} }{x+y} =\frac{35}{100}

⇒ 0.25x + 0.75y = 0.35x + 0.35y

⇒0.1x = 0.4y

⇒x = 4y........ (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, 5y = 7, ⇒ y = 1.4 gallons

Hence, x = 4y = 5.6 gallons

Therefore, the 25% grape juice was mixed by 5.6 gallons. (Answer)

What is the smallest positive degree angle measure equivalent to sin^-1 (0.391)?
natta225 [31]

Given:

The value is:

\sin^{-1}(0.391)

To find:

The smallest positive degree angle measure equivalent to \sin^{-1}(0.391).

Solution:

We have,

\sin^{-1}(0.391)

Using the scientific calculator, we get

\sin^{-1}(0.391)=23.0167366398^\circ

\sin^{-1}(0.391)\approx 23^\circ

Therefore, the smallest positive degree angle measure equivalent to \sin^{-1}(0.391) is 23 degrees.

Suppose y varies inversely with x. Write an equation if y=-3 when x=17
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

y = -51 ÷ x

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard format of a inversely proportional equation goes by the format of y = k ÷ x. The question asks us to write an equation if y = -3 when x = 17 and y varies inversely with x.

So we substitute the values y = -3 and x = 17 in the equation y = k ÷ x

K = constant, we have to work this out

-3 = k ÷ 17

-3 × 17 = k

k = -3 × 17

k = -51

k = -51 So then we put this back into the original y = k ÷ x to find our final equation which is y = -51 ÷ x
