Answer:

4 liters of 60% solution; 2 liters of 30% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to use a simple, but effective, tool for most mixture problems. It is a kind of "X" diagram as in the attachment.

The ratios of solution concentrations are 3:6:5, so I've used those numbers in the diagram. The constituent solutions are on the left; the desired mixture is in the middle, and the numbers on the other legs of the X are the differences along the diagonals: 6 - 5 = 1; 5 - 3 = 2. This tells you the ratio of 60% solution to 30% solution is 2 : 1.

These ratio units (2, 1) add to 3. We want 6 liters of mixture, so we need to multiply these ratio units by 2 liters to get the amounts of constituents needed. The result is 4 liters of 60% solution and 2 liters of 30% solution.

_____

If you're writing equations, it often works well to let the variable represent the quantity of the greatest contributor—the 60% solution. Let the volume of that (in liters) be represented by v. Then the total volume of iodine in the mixture is ...

... 0.60·v + 0.30·(6 -v) = 0.50·6

... 0.30v = 0.20·6 . . . . subtract 0.30·6, collect terms

... v = 6·(0.20/0.30) = 4 . . . . divide by the coefficient of v

4 liters of 60% solution are needed. The other 2 liters are 30% solution.

Answer:

x = \sqrt{1}

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 6 )^2 = 49

get rid of the square , by square rooting the 49

x + 6 = \sqrt{49}

x = \sqrt{49} -6

x = \sqrt{1}

\sqrt{49} means + or - hence it could be -7 -6 = -1 ... or  7-6 = 1

therefore the answer is = or -  1

hence in terms of roots .. answer is :

\sqrt{1}

Chapter 8 Written Homework 1. A hypothesis test is conducted to test the claim that the proportion of people with dark hair at M
UNO [17]

Answer:

we reject  H₀

Step-by-step explanation:  Se annex

The test is one tail-test (greater than)

Using   α = 0,05   (critical value )  from z- table we get

z(c) = 1,64

And Test hypothesis is:

H₀         Null hypothesis           μ   =  μ₀

Hₐ       Alternate hypothesis   μ   >  μ₀

Which we need to compare with z(s) = 2,19  (from problem statement)

The annex shows z(c), z(s), rejection and acceptance regions, and as we can see z(s) > z(c) and it is in the rejection region

So base on our drawing we will reject  H₀
