50 ounces of 15% saline solution contains 0.15*50 = 7.5 ounces of salt.
Let x be the amount of pure water you add to this solution. Then you end up with (x + 50) ounces of this new solution. The amount of salt stays the same.
You want the new solution to have a concentration of 10%. This means you need
7.5 / (x + 50) = 0.1
==> 7.5 = 0.1(x + 50)
==> 7.5 = 0.1x + 5
==> 2.5 = 0.1x
==> 2.5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1
==> x = 25
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
given
× 
the 2j on the denominator of the first fraction cancels with the 2j on the numerator of the second fraction, leaving the expression in simplified form as
=
→ D
Answer:
If 3 + 4 ≠ 6, then 2 · 5 = 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
To form the contrapositive of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion of the inverse statement. The contrapositive of "If it rains, then they cancel school" is "If they do not cancel school, then it does not rain." If p , then q .
-2 (Rise over run) goes up 2 and over 1 and the line is going down
