Lets call x the amount of 18% solution and y the amount of 40% solution, and write as equations the info of the problem:
18x + 40y = 10(20)
x + y = 10
lets multiply the second equation by -18 and add to the first:
 18x + 40y = 200
-18x -<span> 18y = -180
</span>----------------------
0 + 22y = 20
y = 20/22 = 10/11
and substitute in the original equation:
x <span>+ y = 10
</span>x = 10 - y
x = 10 - 10/11
x = 110/11 - 10/11
x = 100/11
so they have to use 100/11 liters of 18% solution and 10/11 liters of 40% solution

It is said that a student’s college GPA (grade point index) can be predicted by his/her HOCS (higher- order cognitive skills) su
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

apart from using the hoc to predict the college students gpa, some other variables can be used

1. the students intelligent quotient

2. ability to remember

3. study time

4. gym practice

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. the students intelligent quotient</u>

<u>gpa</u><u> </u>has a positive relationship with iq. they are both directly related. The more the iq of a a student, the greater is his ability to understand and have a good gpa. the slope will therefore be positive and be in an upward direction.

2. <u>ability to remember</u>

the gpa of students who have a good ability to remember but do not have a good grasp of the subject may not be high. the slope would be in a slightly upward direction

3. <u>study time</u>

gpa and practice have a positive relationship. the more a student studies, the more likelihood exists of having a better gpa. the slope would be upward bound.

4. <u>gym</u><u> </u><u>practice</u>

gpa and gym practice are not related so the slope would be in a downward direction.

when interpreting the direction of relationship after carrying out such an analysis, it is useful to watch out for the accompanying signs of the variables. if the sign of the beta coefficient is positive then a positive relationship with the dependent variable exists.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for this transformation is that (x,y) will become (y,x) if it flips over y=x OR the y-axis and the x-axis.

A water tank is in the shape of a right circular cylinder with a height of 20 feet and a volume of 320π cubic feet. What is the
babymother [125]
The formula for volume of a cylinder is  V=π r^2 h.
So plug in,
320π=<span>π r^2 20
solve (sadmep (opposite of pemdas))
divide pi out
320=r^2 20
divide 20 out
16=r^2
square root of 16 is 4, so the radius is 4. 
Since the 2r=d, the diameter is 8.
P.s. lol it thought I was copying an answer from online...
