A scientist needs 10 L of a solution that is 60% acid. She has a 50% acid solution and a 90% acid solution she can mix together

to make the 60% solution.
Let x represent the number of liters of the 50% solution.
Let y represent the number of liters of the 90% solution.
Which equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed?
Question 3 options:
x + y = 6
x + y = 10
0.5x + 0.9y = 6
0.5x + 0.9y = 10

Answer:

<u>The equations system is:</u>

<u>x + y = 10</u>

<u>0.5x + 0.9y = 6</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Liters of 60% acid solution needed = 10

x = Number of liters of the 50% solution

y = Number of liters of the 90% solution

2. Which equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed?

There are two equations needed:

The first one related to the total liters needed, 10 in this case:

x + y = 10

The second one related to the acid concentration of the 10 liters:

0.5x + 0.9y = 10 * 0.6

0.5x + 0.9y = 6

<u>The equations system is:</u>

<u>x + y = 10</u>

<u>0.5x + 0.9y = 6</u>

Solving for x and y in the 2nd equation, we have:

0.5 (10 - y) + 0.9y = 6

5 - 0.5y + 0.9y = 6

0.4y = 6 - 5

0.4y = 1

y = 1/0.4 = 2.5 ⇒ x = 7.5 (10 - 2.5)

The scientist can mix 7.5 liters of the 50% acid solution and 2.5 liters of the 90% acid solution to get the 10 liters of the 60% acid solution.

I am a number less than 100. I am a product of two prime numbers. If you reversemy digits, I am a prime. The sum of my digits is
almond37 [142]

Answer:

You are number 34

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The number is less than 100

∴ The number is 2-digit  number

- The number is the product of 2 prime numbers

∴ The two prime numbers could be two of these numbers:

   2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 23 , 29 , 31 , 37 , 41 , 43

∵ The number is less than 100

∴ The two prime numbers are 1-digit numbers OR one of them

   is 1-digit and the other is 2-digit

- The sum of its digits is a 1-digit

∴ The sum of its digits is less than 10

- One of its digit is a square number

∴ One of its digit is 1 or 4 or 9 because they are square numbers

* Look to the prime number above the number and chose two of

  them try to find the answer

- Start with the product of 1-digit prime numbers

∵ 2 and 7 are prime numbers

∵ 2 × 7 = 14 and the sum of its digits is less than 10 (1 + 4 = 5)

∵ 14 < 100

∵ The reversed of its digits obtained 41 which is a prime number

∵ 4  and 1 are a square number (1² = 1 or 2² = 4)

∴ The number is not 14

- Chose one of them 1-digit and the other 2-digit

∵ 2 and 17 are prime numbers

∵ 2 × 17 = 34 and the sum of its digits is less than 10 (3 + 4 = 7)

∵ 34 < 100

∵ The reversed of its digits obtained 43 which is a prime number

∵ 4 is a square number (2² = 4)

∴ The number is 34

* You are number 34

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically constant of proportionality is a ratio.

We take two points, we'll take the order pair (2,48)

It will always be y/x so y is 48 and x is 2

48/2    -  now we simplify

answer: 24

hope this helps! :))
