Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution

Answer:
Jason is incorrect.
The caterpillar's rate is 2 ft/min
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of motion is defined as the quotient between the distance covered (in our case 16 feet) divided by the time it took to cover that distance (in our case 8 minutes)
Then, the rate is:
Answer:
the third side is 5 2/3 in.
s - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
a = side 1
b = side 2
c = side 3
a + b + c = 15
a = b - 4 => b = a + 4
c = a + 3
a + a + 4 + a + 3 = 15
3a + 7 = 15
3a = 8
a = 8/3 = 2 2/3 in
b = a + 4 = 6 2/3 in
c = a + 3 = 5 2/3 in
