Malcolm and Ravi raced each other. The average of their maximum speeds was 260\text{ km/h}260 km/h260, space, k, m, slash, h. If

doubled, Malcolm's maximum speed would be 80\text{ km/h}80 km/h80, space, k, m, slash, h more than Ravi's maximum speed. What were Malcolm's and Ravi's maximum speeds?

Let m and r represent the maximum speeds of Malcolm and Ravi in km/h, respectively.

... (m + r)/2 = 260 . . . . . the average of their speeds was 260 kph

... 2m = r + 80 . . . . . . . . double Malcolm's speed is 80 kph more than Ravi's

The second equation can be solved for r and that expression substituted into the first equation.

... 2m - 80 = r . . . . . . . . . . . an expression for r from the second equation

... (m + 2m - 80)/2 = 260 . . . the result of substituting that into the first

... 3m - 80 = 520 . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

... m = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 80 and divide by 3

... 2·200 - 80 = r = 320 . . .substitute the value of m into the expression for r

Malcolm's maximum speed was 200 km/h.

Ravi's maximum speed was 320 km/h.

To reduce 16 ounces of a 25% solution of antiseptic to a 10% solution, how much distilled water should a nurse add?
yan [13]

Answer:

24 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a more intuitive approach to use here.

You know that your initial solution has a percent concentration, presumably volume by volume, of  

25

%

. This means that any volume of this solution contains  

1

part solute and  

3

parts solvent.

The target solution must have a concentration of  

10

%

, which means that any volume of this solution will contain  

1

part of solute and  

9

parts solvent.

Your starting solution has a volume of  

16

ounces, or  

4

parts, each with a volume of  

4

ounces.

In order to get to a solution that has a total of  

10

parts, you must add  

6

parts of solvent to the initial solution. Since we know that

1 part  

=

4 ounces

it follows that you must add

6

parts

⋅

4 ounces

1

part solvent

=

24 ounces

of distilled water, which is your solvent, to the initial solution.

The target solution will contain  

1

part solute and  

9

parts distilled water for a total of  

10

parts of solution, and hence have a percent concentration of  

10

%

.

The domain of the function is all<br> The range of the function is all
kondaur [170]

The domain of a function is the set of all the x terms of the function and the range of a function is the set of all the y terms of a function.

For example, take a look below.

The domain is the set of all x terms in each ordered pair and the

range will be the set of all the y terms in each ordered pair.

Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn. More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat.
Lena [83]
The first thing we do in these cases is to define the variables.
 We have then:
 w = represent the number of acres of wheat
 c = represent the number of acres of corn
 We write now the inequalities based is:
 "Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn"
 w + c <= 27
 "More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat"
 w> 5
 Answer:
 
two inequalities that represent this situation are:
 
w + c <= 27
 
w> 5
