We can use these variables:
A = number of ounces for solution A
B = Number of ounces for solution B
A + B = 20
Now, we can use decimal conversions.
0.65A + 0.80B = 0.70(120)
Next step: We substitute A into 120 - B to show their relationship.
0.65(120 - B) + 0.80B = 84
Now onto the next equation:
78 - 0.65B + 0.80B = 84
0.80 - 0.65 = 0.15, so…
0.15B = 84 - 78
0.15B = 6
B = 6 divided by 0.15
B = 40 ounces
To find A, we can simply plug B into the starting equation.
A = 120 - 40
A = 60 ounces
Your final answer: The scientist should use 60 ounces of solution A and she should use 40 ounces of solution B. Yeah
When you multiply two numbers with the same base, their exponents add up.
3/7 + 1/4 = 12/28 + 7/28 = 19/28
It would be 2^19/28
Answer:
I dont know
Step-by-step explanation:
oop
Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.
We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.
(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3
This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.
