How much water should be added to 8 quarts of 90% antifreeze to get a 30% solution?

Mathematics

Serjik [45]3 years ago

Answer:

16 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x is the volume of water.

Initially, the amount of antifreeze is the concentration times the volume: 0.90 (8).

After the water is added, the amount of antifreeze is the new concentration times the new volume: 0.30 (8 + x).

Since the amount of antifreeze doesn't change, we can set these equal and solve for x.

0.90 (8) = 0.30 (8 + x)

7.2 = 2.4 + 0.30 x

4.8 = 0.30 x

x = 16

16 quarts of water should be added.

A city council consists of eight Democrats and eight Republicans. If a committee of six people is selected, find the probability
saw5 [17]

Answer:

39.16% probability of selecting three Democrats and three Republicans

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, the order in which the people are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

3 Democrats, from a set of 8.

3 Republicans, from a set of 8.

D = C_{8,3}*C_{8,3} = (C_{8,3})^{2} = (\frac{8!}{3!5!})^{2} = 56^2 = 3136

Total outcomes:

6 people from a set of 16.

T = \frac{16!}{6!10!} = 8008

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{3136}{8008} = 0.3916

39.16% probability of selecting three Democrats and three Republicans

Tara places a picture in a picture frame. The width of the picture is x inches, and the length of the picture is 2 inches more t
CaHeK987 [17]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The dimensions of the outside of the picture rame are:
Width   = x + 1 + 1 = x + 2 inches
Length = (x+2) + 1 + 1 = x + 4 inches.

The perimeter of the outside of the picture frame is 28 inches.
Therefore
2(x + 2) + 2(x+4) = 28

Solve for x.
2x + 4 + 2x + 8 = 28
4x + 12 = 28
4x = 16
x = 4 inches

Answer: 4 inches

You have a rectangular prism as shown below. Its height is 7 cm, its width is 4 cm, the length is 3 cm. How would we calculate t
Pachacha [2.7K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  84 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

There are formulas for the volumes of simple geometric solids: prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone, frustum of a pyramid or cone.

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is ...

  V = LWH . . . . . product of Length, Width, and Height

Put the numbers in place of the corresponding variables and do the arithmetic.

  V = (3 cm)(4 cm)(7 cm) = 84 cm³

The volume of this rectangular prism is 84 cubic centimeters.
