x = quarts of 30% acid solution

y = quarts of 65% solution

x + y = 175

Each quart of the 30% solution contributes 0.30x quarts of acid; similarly, each quart of the 65% solution contributes 0.65y quarts of acid. So

0.3x + 0.65y = 0.55*175 = 96.25

That is, the chemist wants 175 quarts of a new mixture with a 55% concentration of acid, which comes out to 95.25 total quarts of acid. The total amounts of acid from either sides of this equation must balance out.

Now solve for x and y:

x + y = 175  ==>  y = 175 - x

0.3x + 0.65y = 96.25  ==>  0.3x + 0.65(175 - x) = 96.25

==>  0.3x + 113.75 - 0.65x = 96.25

==>  17.5 = 0.35x

==>  x = 50  ==>  y = 125

vlabodo [156]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The expression is</u><u> 5(40+80)</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The sum of 40 and 80 can be written as

(40+80)

and when we take the 5 times of the sum

we can write as

5(40+80)

In a collision, a 5 kg mass moving at 2m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 1 kg mass. What is the velocity of the 1kg mass af
statuscvo [17]
Answer:
velocity = 10 m/sec in the same direction as the first body did

Explanation:
The momentum of the body can be calculated as follows:
momentum = mass * velocity

For the first body, we have:
mass = 5 kg
velocity = 2 m/sec
momentum = mass * velocity
momentum = 5 * 2 = 10 kg.m/sec

We know that this momentum is transferred completely to the second body

For the second bode, we have:
momentum = 10 Kg.m/sec
mass = 1 kg
momentum = mass * velocity
10 = 1 * velocity 
velocity = 10/1
velocity = 10 m/sec

Finally, we should get the direction of the motion:
Both the velocity of the first and second bodies have positive values. Therefore, the second body is moving in the same direction as the first body did.

Hope this helps :)

Question 5 of 10
musickatia [10]

Answer:

25 in ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the circle

A = pi r^2

A = 3.14 ( 4.3)^2

A =58.0586

The take the fraction of the circle that is shaded

A circle is 360 degrees

155/360

155 /360 * the  total area = area shaded

31/72 * 58.0586 = 24.99745278 in ^2

Rounding yields 25 in ^2
