Answer:

<u>The chemistry class mixed 120 gallons of 12% isopropyl alcohol and 180 gallons of 42% isopropyl alcohol.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Amount of isopropyl alcohol made by the chemistry class = 300 of 30%

Amount of 12% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = x

Amount of 42% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = 300 - x

2. How much of each did they use?

Let's write our equation to solve for x, this way:

30% = 0.3, 12% = 0.12, 42% = 0.42

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12x + 126 - 0.42x = 90

-0.3x = 90 - 126

-0.3x = -36

x = -36/-0.3

<u>x = 120 ⇒ 300 - x = 180</u>

<u>Let's prove x = 120 is correct</u>

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12 * 120 + 0.42 (300 - 120) = 0.3 * 300

14.4 + 75.6 = 90

90 = 90

<u>We proved x = 120 is correct</u>

You row upstream at a speed of 2 mi/h. You travel the same distance
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.5 m/hr  

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + c   =   5 -c           c = speed of current

2 c = 3      c = current speed = 1.5 m/hr

                         your speed =   5 - 1.5    (or  2 + 1.5)  =  3.5 m/hr
