Answer:
3:4
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we start to deal with the ratio, we need all lengths in the same units.
The width is 18 inches.
The height is 2 feet.
Let's convert the height to inches. Then we will have both dimensions in the same units, inches.
2 ft * (12 in.)/ft = 24 in.
Now we have:
width = 18 in.
height = 24 in.
ratio of width to height = 18 in. to 24 in. = 18/24 = 3/4 = 3:4
Divide them and then multiply
Solving a system of equations we will see that we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.
<h3>
How many liters of each solution do we need to use?</h3>
First, we need to define the variables:
- x = liters of the 35% acid used.
- y = liters of the 80% acid used.
We know that we want to produce 60 liters of 65% acid, then we have the system of equations:
x + y = 60
x*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65
(in the second equation we wrote the percentages in decimal form).
To solve this we need to isolate one of the variables in one equation and then replace it in other one, isolating x we get:
x = 60 - y
Replacing that in the other equation:
(60 - y)*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65
y*(0.80 - 0.35) = 60*(0.65 - 0.35)
y*0.45 = 60*0.30
y = 60*0.30/0.45 = 40
So we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.

I did these about 1 year ago but i think you subtract the 6 from 30 and then divide by 4, and that gives u 24/4 which is 6. i barely barely remember some so
