Answer:

   (E)  450

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of solution X that must be added to the mix. Then the amount of sugar in the mix is ...

  0.20x +0.40·150 = 0.25(150 +x)

  0.20x +60 = 37.5 +0.25x . . . eliminate parentheses

  22.5 + 0.20x = 0.25x . . . . . . subtract 37.5

  22.5 = 0.05x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20x

  450 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 20

450 gallons of solution X must be added to make a 25% sugar solution.

She need 1/12 cup of oil. A fraction is a portion of a whole or, more broadly, any number of equal parts. In everyday English, a fraction describes the number of parts of a specific size, such as one-half, eight-fifths, or three-quarters.

<h3>What is meant by fraction?</h3>
  • A fraction is a portion of a whole or, more broadly, any number of equal parts. In everyday English, a fraction describes the number of parts of a specific size, such as one-half, eight-fifths, or three-quarters.
  • fraction, A number expressed as a quotient in arithmetic, in which a numerator is divided by a denominator. Both are integers in a simple fraction.
  • A complex fraction contains a fraction in either the numerator or the denominator. A proper fraction has a numerator that is less than the denominator. A fraction is a portion of a whole number and a method of dividing a number into equal parts.

<h3>How to find how much cup she want?</h3>

  • She needs 1/3 cup of oil
  • She have 1/4 cup of oil

To find how much need to obtain 1/3 of cup

we need to subtract what we have from what we need.

so , we have 1/4 and need 1/3

 = 1/3 - 1/4

 = \frac{1 * 4}{3 * 4} - \frac{1 * 3}{4 * 3}

 = 1/12

she need 1/12 cup of oil more to make cake.

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below.<br> 1.5<br> 2.5<br> X
algol13
So 2.5^2= 1.5^2 +b^2
6.25= 2.25 +b^2
Subtract 2.25 on each side
4= b^2
Take the square root of each side
X=2

Hope it helps
