when solving
There you use multiplication property and make addition to multiplication then you get extraneous solution because in plenty of cases they occur

Answer:
1. 8.85 quarts
2. 44.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
In 15 quarts of a solution with percentage of antifreeze = 35%
Amount of antifreeze = 35% × 15
= 0.35 × 15
= 5.25 quarts
that solution is mixed with 5 quarts of a solution with percentage of antifreeze = 72%
Amount of antifreeze = 72% × 5
= 0.72 × 5
= 3.6 quarts
Total amount of mixture = 15 quarts + 5 quarts = 20 quarts
1. Now we will calculate the total amount of antifreeze in the resulting mixture.
= 5.25 + 3.6 = 8.85 quarts
2. The percentage of the resulting mixture is antifreeze
= 
= 44.25%
1. total amount of antifreeze is 8.85 quarts
2. the percentage of antifreeze is 44.25%
Answer:
B 600
Step-by-step explanation:
A clock is a circle with 12 equal sectors. A circle has 360 degrees so every time a minute hand number goes to another number it changes 30 degrees. After a full hour the time is 7 20 and it changes 360 degrees since the minute hand change over time was 12. 30x12=360.
Then it from 7 :20 and 8 00 the change 8 so is 30×8=240
360+240=600
Answer:
It's D: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 64.29%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total earnings of the Lee family in May be x
Amount earned by Mr Lee in May = 60% of x = 0.6x
Amount earned by other family members in May = x - 0.6x (total earnings - Mr Lee's earnings) = 0.4x
Amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 20% more than what Mr Lee earned in May.
That is, amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 1.2 × 0.6x = 0.72x
Amount earned by other members of the family in June remains unchanged, that is = 0.4x
Total amount earned by the Lee family in June = 0.72x + 0.4x = 1.12x
Percentage of total earnings in June earned by Mr. Lee = (0.72x/1.12x) × 100% = 64.29%.
QED!
