Rita bought some large packets of salt weighing 500grams each and some small packets of salt weighing 200 grams each. If she has

8 packets altogether and they weigh 2200 grams in total, how many of each kind does she have?

L+S=8, L=8-S

500L+200S=2200, using L from above in this equation gives you:

500(8-S)+200S=2200

4000-500S+200S=2200

4000-300S=2200

-300S=-1800

S=6, and since L=8-S:

L=2

So Rita bought 2 large packets and 6 small packets.

Initially a tank contains 10 liters of pure water. Brine of unknown (but constant) concentration of salt is flowing in at 1 lite

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Therefore the concentration of salt in the incoming brine is 1.73 g/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the amount of incoming and outgoing of water are equal. Then the amount of water in the tank remain same = 10 liters.

Let the concentration of salt be a gram/L

Let the amount salt in the tank at any time t be Q(t).

$\frac{dQ}{dt} =\textrm {incoming rate - outgoing rate}$

Incoming rate = (a g/L)×(1 L/min)

=a g/min

The concentration of salt in the tank at any time t is = $\frac{Q(t)}{10}$ g/L

Outgoing rate = $(\frac{Q(t)}{10} g/L)(1 L/ min)$ $\frac{Q(t)}{10} g/min$

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = a- \frac{Q(t)}{10}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dQ}{10a-Q(t)} =\frac{1}{10} dt$

Integrating both sides

$\Rightarrow \int \frac{dQ}{10a-Q(t)} =\int\frac{1}{10} dt$

$\Rightarrow -log|10a-Q(t)|=\frac{1}{10} t +c$ [ where c arbitrary constant]

Initial condition when t= 20 , Q(t)= 15 gram

$\Rightarrow -log|10a-15|=\frac{1}{10}\times 20 +c$

$\Rightarrow -log|10a-15|-2=c$

Therefore ,

$-log|10a-Q(t)|=\frac{1}{10} t -log|10a-15|-2$ .......(1)

In the starting time t=0 and Q(t)=0

Putting t=0 and Q(t)=0 in equation (1) we get

$- log|10a|= -log|10a-15| -2$

$\Rightarrow- log|10a|+log|10a-15|= -2$

$\Rightarrow log|\frac{10a-15}{10a}|= -2$

$\Rightarrow |\frac{10a-15}{10a}|=e ^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow 1-\frac{15}{10a} =e^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{15}{10a} =1-e^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2a} =1-e^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow2a= \frac{3}{1-e^{-2}}$

$\Rightarrow a = 1.73$

Therefore the concentration of salt in the incoming brine is 1.73 g/L
