A health clinic uses a solution of bleach to sterilize petri dishes in which cultures are grown. The sterilization tank contains

120 gal of a solution of 4% ordinary household bleach mixed with pure distilled water. New research indicates that the concentration of bleach should be 6% for complete sterilization. How much of the solution should be drained and replaced with bleach to increase the bleach content to the recommended level?

Answer:

2.5 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

let be x = galons of solution to be drained and replace with bleach

so, we have to substract to the current solution of bleach 0.04*120, x gallons that have a concentration of 0.04 x

and also, we have to add the same gallons of bleach to the solution, that is x

and have to obtain a final concentration of 0.06*120

we can express the problem with the follow equation:

0.04*120 - 0.04*x + x = 0.06*120

solving the equation for x:

4.8+0.96*x=7.2

0.96*x=7.2-4.8

0.96*x=2.4

x =2.5 gallons

Answer:

  162°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of inscribed angle ADC is half the measure of the intercepted arc AC. That arc has a measure that is the same as the central angle it subtends, angle ABC.

So, central angle ABC is twice the measure of inscribed angle ADC:

  m∠ABC = 2·81° = 162°

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. 15x2 - 44x + 32 = 0
krek1111 [17]
If you want to find the solutions for this you have to factor it.  Since it's a second degree polynomial, you'll have 2 solutions.  Factoring this using the quadratic formula, you'll get factors of (5x-8)(3x-4).  Solving these for x you get x = 8/5 and x = 4/3.
