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

A box contains 2 red marbles, 3 green marbles, and 3 blue marbles. if we choose a marble, then another marble without putting th
Bad White [126]
There are 7 marbles, including 3 green ones, so at the start, there is a 3/7 chance of getting a green marble.
Assuming you did get a green one, there are now 6 marbles left, with 2 blue marbles, so there is a 2/6 chance of taking a blue marble.
Given that both have to happen, you must multiply each probability, hence the total probability is 3/7 x 2/6, or a 1/7 chance.

Which composition of similarity transformations maps polygon ABCD to polygon A'B'C'D'?
Elina [12.6K]
Hey there!

Unless the smaller object was rotated 360° (in which case the rotation wouldn't have to be mentioned), you can see that all of the lines are still in the same place and that it wasn't rotated at all. This eliminated any answer option that mentions a rotation, which is A and C. 

Also, if you count the units of one of the straight lines – for example, line AB and A'B' – you can see that the smaller object is four times smaller than the larger object. In the case of line AB and A'B', line AB is 8 units long and A'B' is 2 units long. This means that the scale factor is \frac{1}{4}. 

Lastly, the smaller object was moved from its initial location, which would be in the center of the larger object if it wasn't moved after being scaled down. 

The answer will be B, "a dilation with a scale factor of \frac{1}{4} and then a translation."

Hope this helped you out! :-)
