The solution to the problem is as follows:
<span>Area=h×w
</span><span>1(1/2) = h × 2 (<span>1/4)
</span></span><span>⟹3/2 = h × <span>9/4
</span></span><span>h = 3/2 ÷ <span>9/4
</span></span><span>Therefore, the height will be 2/3 yards if we use all the blue paint.

THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
How to set up as three linear equations to find the answer?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18

C. Both options A and B will allow him to meet his goal.
Looking at Drake's situation after 4 weeks, he only has $470 saved. By
his original plan, he should have had $500 saved. So he's $30 short of
his goal and has 2 weeks until his originally planned class. If he goes
with option A and takes the later class, he will save an additional $125
which is more than enough to make up the $30 short fall. So option A
will work for him to save enough money for his class. With option B, he
will save $140 for the last 2 weeks of his plan giving him a savings of
$280 for the last 2 weeks. Adding the $470 he's already saved will give
him a total savings of $470 + $280 = $750 which is enough for him to
attend his class. So option B will also allow Drake to attend his
desired class. Both options A and B allow him to meet his goal. Hence,
the answer is "c".
Using the normal distribution, it is found that there are 68 students with scores between 72 and 82.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>
The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean 
and standard deviation 
is given by:
- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
In this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:
The proportion of students with scores between 72 and 82 is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 82 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 72</u>.
X = 82:
Z = 1
Z = 1 has a p-value of 0.84.
X = 72:
Z = 0
Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.
0.84 - 0.5 = 0.34.
Out of 200 students, the number is given by:
0.34 x 200 = 68 students with scores between 72 and 82.
