Answer:

4 litres of 12% solution

2 litre of 24% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 12% solution = l

Let the 24% solution = h

Dimitri needs a total of 6 litres of both :

l + h = 6 - - - - - - - - (1)

He needs a mixture of both volumes of both to give a 16% volume

12%l + 24%h = 16% * 6

0.12l + 0.24h = 0.96 ----(2)

From (1)

l + h = 6;

l = 6 - h

Substitute l =6-h into (2)

0.12(6 - h) + 0.24h = 0.96

0.72 - 0.12h + 0.24h = 0.96

0.72 + 0.12h = 0.96

0.12h = 0.96 - 0.72

0.12h = 0.24

h = 0.24 / 0.12

h = 2

From ;

l = 6 - h

l = 6 - 2

l = 4

Osvoldo has a goal of getting at least 30%, percent of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains.
Pachacha [2.7K]
To answer this you need to figure out what 30% of the total number of carbs need to be whole-grain. Multiply 0.3 times 220 to get 66 grams. He did not meet his goal. Because he only ate 5 g, this is 61 less than he needs to meet his goal.
