A glass contains alcohol and water in the ratio 1:4. A second glass contains the same quantity of liquid, but this time the rati
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

3:7

Step-by-step explanation:

So to solve this problem, you have to understand what the ratio 1:4 and 2:3 means. The 1:4 ratio in the first equation means that for "each unit of alcohol" there is 4 of those units of water. So let's say I had 2 gallons of alcohol and mixed it with 8 gallons of water. This means for each gallon of alcohol, there is 4 gallons of water, or in other words a 1:4 ratio. This can be described as a percentage as well. For each 5 gallons there are 4 gallons of water, and 1 gallon of alcohol or <em>20%</em> is alcohol. So let's just say that x=alcohol and y=water, this means that: x+y=c  where c is the total amount in the glass. This means that: x=0.20c

Let's do the same thing to the second equation. the ratio means that for every 2 units of alcohol there are 3 units of water. This means for every 5 gallons of the mixture there is 2 units of alcohol which is 40%. In this case let's also say that j=alcohol and k=water. This means that: j+k=c and that: j=0.40c.

So if we're going to add the two glasses, we simply add the two sides, and get: j+x+k+y=2c. Now remember how can can express j and x in terms of c, since it's a certain percentage of c (the entire thing). This means that we get: (0.4c+0.2c)+x+k=2c Now we can add like terms to get the equation: 0.6c+y+k=2c. We can find how much 0.6c is to 2c by dividing the 2, in doing so we get that 0.6c/2c = 0.3, or in other words the 0.6c is only 30% of the final mixture, and since the 0.6c represents the alcohol in this mixture, that means that's the percentage of alcohol. To write this as a ratio, this means for every 3 units of alcohol, there is 7 units of water, because 3/10 = 30%.

Need help on number 25 and 26 can you please explain how you got the answer thanks!:)
Westkost [7]
In both problems, the sum of side lengths is the perimeter. Opposite sides of a parallelogram (or rectangle) are equal in length, so you can find the perimeter by doubling the sum of adjacent sides.

25. 2(x +(x +15)) = (x +45) +(x +40) +(x +25)
.. 4x +30 = 3x +110 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+30
.. 4x +30 = 4*80 +30 = 240
The perimeter of each is 240 units.

26. 2(x +(x +2)) = (x) +(x +6) +(x +4)
.. 4x +4 = 3x +10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+4
.. 4x +4 = 4*6 +4 = 28
The perimeter of each is 28 units.

A certain ferry moves up and down a river between Town A and
Blizzard [7]

Answer: 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes ferry 2 hours to travel to town A and only 1.5\ hr to travel back to town B.

Speed of current is u=5\ mph

Suppose the speed of the ferry is v mph

Distance traveled in both the cases is same, but it took more time traveling to city A that is, ferry is moving upstream and downstream for returning time.

\Rightarrow 2(v-5)=1.5(v+5)\\\Rightarrow 2v-10=1.5v+7.5\\\Rightarrow 0.5v=17.5\\\Rightarrow v=35\ mph

Distance between the towns is 2\times (35-5)=60\ \text{miles}
