Answer:

water : 90 ounces

salt solution: 90 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Call w the amount of water and call the solution containing 30% salt.

We want to get 180 ounces of a mixture with 15% salt.

So:

The amount of mixture will be:

w + s = 180

the amount of salt will be

0w + 0.3s = 180 * 0.15

0.3s = 27

s = 90\ ounces

Now we substitute the value of s in the first equation and solve for w

w + 90 = 180

w = 90\ ounces

180 product of a prime factor using indices
zvonat [6]
Start with 180. 
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>

<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>

<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>

<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>

<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>

<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>

<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>

What is the distance between (-6,2) and (8,10) on a coordinate grid
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 14 right and 8 up, or (14, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, you can subtract or add numbers.

So from (-6, 2) to 0, I have to move right 6 spaces to get (0, 2).

Then, I must move 8 to the right to get (8, 2).

From here, I continue to move up 8 since we want to get to (8,10). So in all, you should move 14 spaces to the right and 8 up (14, 8).
