X = amount of 50% solution
y = total amount after mixing
Note that the amount of alcohol in the 20% solution is 80 (0.2) = 16 oz.
We have 2 unknowns, so we need 2 equations:
first, we can write the equation for the total volume:
y = x + 80
next, apply the percentages to get an equation for the amount of alcohol:
0.4 y = 0.5 x + 16
Finally, solve the pair of equations (in this case, by substitution of the 1st into the second:
0.4 (x + 80) = 0.5x + 16
0.4 x + 32 = 0.5X + 16
rearrange and combine like terms:
0.1x = 16
x = 160
from the 1st equation:
y = 160 + 80 = 240
Answer:
84 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pounds of popcorn bought = 64 pounds
1/4th kept for family ==> 1/4 * 64 = 16 lbs
Remainder = 64-16 = 48 lbs
1/8th of remainder to club ==> 1/8 * 48 = 6 lbs to club
Remainder left over = 48-6 = 42 lbs
Distributed 42 lbs between each of 8 friends equally
Each friend gets 42/8 lbs = (42/8) * 16 = 84 ounces
Since there are 16 ounces in a pound

FAQs on the Square Root of 16
The square root of 16 is 4.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
A machine covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour. what is the unit rate?
Answer:
2.5 square feet per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Area covered by a machine = 
Time taken to cover the given area = 
Now, unit rate of the first quantity with respect to second quantity is the magnitude of the first quantity being when the second quantity is one unit.
Here, the first quantity is the area covered and the second quantity is the time taken.
So, unit rate is the area covered by the machine in 1 hour.
In order to find that, we use the unitary method and divide the area by the total time taken. Therefore,
Thus, the unit rate is 2.5 square feet per hour.
