13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Total mass of acid required= 85 ounces

Let the mass of 72% acid be 'a'

Let the mass of 25% acid be 'b'

a + b = 85

b = 85-a

85(40/100) = a(72/100) + b(25/100)

85(2/5) = a(72/100) +(85- a) (25/100)

34 = (72a/100) + (2125/100) - (25a/100)

34 - (2125/100) = (72a + 25a) /100

(3400-2125)/100 = 97a /100

97a = 1275

a =  13.15 ounces

b = 85 - 13.14

b = 71.85 ounces

13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed

In the year 2000, the United States had a population of about 281.4 million people; by 2010, the population had risen to about 3
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part 1. 0.9259 % per year

Part 2. P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t); 338.6 million  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

P₀ = 281.4 million

P  = 308.7 million

Part 1. Growth rate

t = 2010 - 2000 = 10 yr

        P = P₀e^(rt)

308.7 = 281.4e^(10r)

e^(10r) = 1.0970

     10r = ln1.0970

        r = (ln1.0970)/10 = (0.092 59)/10 = 0.009 259  

        r = 0.9259 % per year

The 10-year continuous growth rate is 0.9259 % per year.

Part 2. Population model

The population model is

P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t)

where P is in millions and t is the number of years since 2000.

By 2020,

P = 281.4e^(0.009 259 × 20) = 281.4e^0.1852 = 281.4 × 1.203

P = 338.6 million

The estimated population in 2020 is 338.6 million.

Find the mean, median, mode, and range of this data: 49, 49, 54, 55, 52, 49, 55. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
Zigmanuir [339]
The mean is the average.
So, to find the mean you want o add up all of the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.

49 + 49 + 54 + 55 + 52 + 49 + 575 = 363
363 / 7 = 51.85
Rounded to 52

For the median you want o line all of your number up from least to greatest and then find the middle number.

49,49,49,52,54,55,55

Your median is 52

The mode is the number that is listed most often

49 is listed 3 times
54 is listed 1 time
52 is listed 1 time
55 is listed 2 times

So, your mode is 49
