Inga [223]3 years ago

Answer:

1\frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

remaining cups = total cups - used caps

let remaining cups be = x

     total cups = y = 8

      used cups = z= 6\frac{3}{5}

Hence x = y-z

x = 8 - 6\frac{3}{5}

  = \frac{8}{1}  - \frac{33}{5}  = \frac{40-33}{5} = \frac{7}{5} = 1\frac{2}{5}

x= 1\frac{2}{5}

Remaining cups = 1\frac{2}{5}

How many gallons each of 20​% alcohol and 10​% alcohol should be mixed to obtain 10gal of 11​% ​alcohol?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 20​% alcohol

y = 10​% alcohol

x + y = 10 (1)

0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)

From (1)

x = 10 - y

Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1

0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1

2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1

- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2

-0.10y = -0.9

y = -0.9/-0.10

y = 9 gal

substitute y = 9 into (1)

x + y = 10

x + 9 = 10

x = 10 - 9

x = 1 gal

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Zach has a terrarium with the dimensions of 20 by 8 and the terrarium was filled with 3 inches of sand.Zach gets a new terrarium
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: the sand in the new terrarium is 2 inches deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zach has a terrarium with the dimensions of 20 by 8 and the terrarium was filled with 3 inches of sand. It means that the volume of sand that this terrarium contains is

20 × 8 × 3 = 480 inches³

Zach gets a new terrarium that is larger with the dimensions of 10 by 24. If Zach moved the existing sand in the new terrarium and the height of the sand is represented by h, then the volume of sand into he new terrarium is

10 × 24 × h = 240h

Since the volume of sand in both terrariums is equal, then

240h = 480

h = 480/240

h = 2 inches

2) Add a % sign: 76.8%
