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

i need help please! I think I know the answer but for some reason my brain's telling me that it's wrong so if someone could expl
Ivenika [448]

Considering the slopes of the segments, the correct option is:

D. No, because the triangle ABC doesn't have a pair of perpendicular sides.

<h3>When are lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?</h3>

The slope, given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>, determines if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, as follows:

  • If they are equal, the lines are parallel.
  • If their multiplication is of -1, they are perpendicular.
  • Otherwise, they are neither.

Here, we have to find if there are perpendicular segments, that is, if two slopes multiplied have a value of -1, then:

  • mAB = (-7 - 9)/(11 - 1) = -8/5.
  • mAC = (3 - 9)/(-9 - 1) = 3/5.
  • mBC = (3 - (-7))/(-9 - 11) = -1/2.

No sides are perpendicular, hence option D is correct.
