Answer: 60 gallons of the 20% solution and 120 gallons of the 50% solution should be mixed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of gallons of 20% solution that should be mixed.
Let y represent the number of gallons of 50% solution that should be mixed.
A 20% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 50% solution of fertilizer in order to get 180 gallons of a 40% solution. This means that
0.2x + 0.5y = 0.4×180
0.2x + 0.5y = 72- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Since the total number of gallons is 180, it means that
x + y = 180
Substituting x = 180 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.2(180 - y) + 0.5y = 72
36 - 0.2y + 0.5y = 72
- 0.2y + 0.5y = 72 - 36
0.3y = 36
y = 36/0.3
y = 120
x = 180 - y = 180 - 120
x = 60
Answer:
1,560

I'm not sure about it but yeahh hope that helps
When multiplying fractions just multiply the numerator and denominators together, then simplify the fraction you get.
To solve the addition problem, first convert 2 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. It should be 5/2. Now 3/8 and 5/2 must be added together.
To add these, they must have the same denominator. Let's give 5/2 a denominator of 8, so it matches 3/8.
To give 5/2 a denominator of 8, you are starting with a denominator of 2. 2 × 4 = 8, so you must multiply 5/2 by 4.
You should get 20/8. Now you have to add 20/8 and 3/8. The only thing you add is the numerator, so you should get 23/8 as a final answer.
For the subtraction problem, do these same steps to make the fractions you must subtract have the same denominator, then subtract only the numerator to get the answer. Once you solve the subtraction problem, text me what you got so I can check it for you. :)
