Answer:

The amount of water need to be added is 5 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's "x" be amount of water in (liters) added to 15 liters of 40% of sugar syrup.

Now find the amount of sugar syrup = 40% of 15

= 0.4 × 15

The amount of sugar syrup = 6 Liters

To dilute 30% we need to find amount of water to be added.

So,

30% of (15 + x) = 6

0.3 × (15 + x) = 6

4.5 + 0.3x = 6

0.3x = 6 - 4.5

0.3x = 1.5

Dividing both sides, by 0.3, we get

x = 5

So, the amount of water need to be added is 5 liters.

In the number 15.2201 how does the value of 2 in the tenths place compare to the value of the 2 in the hundredths place

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The 2 in the hundreths is 10% of the 2 in the tenths

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the number 15.2201

#The value of 2 in the tenths:

$0.2$

#The value of 2 in the hundredths:

$0.02$

The difference of the 2 in the tenths and in the hundredths is:

$=2_t-2_h\\\\=0.2-0.02\\\\=0.18\\\\\#2_h \ as \ a \ \% \ of \ 2_t\\=\frac{2_h}{2_t}\times 100\%\\\\=\frac{0.02}{0.2}\times100\%\\\\2_h=10\% \ of\ 2_t$

Hence, the difference between the 2 in the tenths minus 2 in the hundreths is 0.18, 2 in the hundreths is 10% the 2 in the tenths.

A raindrop was 24 meters above the ground, falling straight down at a constant velocity. It took the raindrop 3 seconds to fall

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

4 m/s downwards

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is given by dividing the distance by time taken to cover the diatance. Therefore, expressed as v=d/t

The distance is given as 24 m but the time given covers only half the distance. Therefore, the distance is 0.5*21=12 m

Time taken is given as 3 s

Substituting 12 m for d and 3 s for t then

V=12/3= 4 m/s

Velocity must have direction component hence velocity is 4 m/s downwards
