Answer:

The number of gallons of Pi Up required is 900 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two different drinks that are produced by the beverage producer are Pi Cola which contains 10% Cola and Pi Up which contains 50% cola.

A solution is to be created using Pi Cola and Pi Up to create a new product containing 40% cola.

It has been mentioned that the number of gallons of Pi Up to be used is 300 gallons.

We can write that the number of gallons of Pi Up that must be mixed with 300 gallons of Pi Cola be x gallons.

So we write the first equation and we can say that the total number of gallons of the solution is x + 300.

Equating the percentage of cola from each beverage to get the required 40% cola we can write

  (0.1 × 300) + (0.5 × x)  = 0.4 × ( x + 300)

If we solve for x from the above equation we get

  (0.5 x + 30)  = (0.4 x + 120)

⇒ 0.1 x  = (120 - 30)  = 90

⇒ x  = 900 gallons

Therefore the number of gallons of Pi Up required is 900.

if a rug was 5 times as long as thia record sheet, how long would it be? measure the length of this record sheet in centimeters.
vlada-n [284]

<u>Answer: </u>

If a rug was 5 times as long as this record sheet. The length of this record sheet in centimeters is 100x centimeter

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that a rug was 5 times than the record sheet.

Let assume the length of the record sheet = x units

Then from given information,

Length of the rug = 5x units

Conversion of measure of record sheet in centimeter completely depends upon in which unit the length is given.

Suppose the given length is in meters, than need to multiply the given length by 100 to get the length in centimeter that is

x meter = x \times 100 = 100x cm

Conversion factor will change accordingly to the unit of given length which needs to be convert into centimeter.

Michael jogs at 3 miles per hour and Jack runs at 4.5 miles per hour. If Michael starts at 2:00 pm and Jack starts on the same c
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

It will take Jack 40 minutes to cover the same distance which Micheal covers in 60 minutes. Both will meet at 3 miles distance at 3 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Micheal  runs 3 miles in one hour or 60 minutes.

In one minute he runs 3/60= 1/20  or 0.05miles.

Jack runs 4.5 miles in one hour or 60 minutes.

In one minute he runs 4.5/60= 45/600= 9/120= 3/40  or 0.075 miles.

So Jack is 0.075/0.05 = 1.5 times faster than Micheal.

or Micheal is 1.5 times slower than Jack.

Jack starts from 2:20 pm and at 3 pm he will run 0.075(40 minutes)= 3miles

Micheal start at 2:00 pm and at 3 pm he will run 0.05(60 minutes)= 3 miles

So at 3 pm both will have covered equal distance= 3miles.

It will take Jack 40 minutes to cover the same distance which Micheal covers in 60 minutes. Both will meet at 3 miles distance at 3 pm.
