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>

Your cousin gave you $0.72 with which to buy a gift. This covered 9/10 of the cost. How much did the present cost?
Helga [31]

Answer:

$0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

percent times the original number equals the part

(%)(start or total cost)= (part of the total cost). you need to know the total cost, so you would fill in the part and the percent. 0.9x=0.72. you use x because you don't know what the total cost is. then you divide both sides by 0.9 to get x by itself and you get that x = 0.8, meaning that the present costs $0.80.

Multiplying two complex numbers involves ______.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Multiplying a complex number by a real number

(x + yi) u = xu + yu i. In other words, you just multiply both parts of the complex number by the real number. For example, 2 times 3 + i is just 6 + 2i. Geometrically, when you double a complex number, just double the distance from the origin, 0.

binomial methods

Complex numbers use binomial methods of multiplication because unlike real numbers, imaginary numbers have two components.

So probably A. I sorry, but I need more information. Hope this helps
