Answer:

4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that g = the number of gallons of a 20% salt solution,

The first thing we want to do here is to convert each " percentage " into decimal form, to make things a bit simpler here.

( 20(percent) = 0.20

( 30( percent ) = 0.30

( 25( percent ) = 0.25

Before this mixture takes place, the 20% salt solution is associated with g, the number of gallons of a 20% salt solution. Respectively the 30% salt solution is associated with 4 gallons. After mixing the two ( g and 4 ) the 25% salt solution should be associated with g + 4. We can therefore conclude the following equation -

0.20( g )+0.30( 4 ) = 0.25( g + 4 )

And now, let us solve for " g, "

0.2g + 1.2 = 0.25g + 1

- 0.2g       = - 0.2g

_________________

1.2 = 0.05g + 1

- 1  =          -  1

_________________

0.2 = 0.05g,

g = <u><em>4 gallons of a 20% salt solution</em></u>

Find the volume of this cylinder. Please help
algol13

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 384 \ ft^3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is the space an object occupies. The volume formula for a cylinder is provided and it is:

V= \pi r^2 h

Where:

  • r= radius
  • h= height

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge, and it is 4 feet. The height is 8 feet. We are told to use 3 for pi.

  • r= 4 ft
  • h= 8 ft
  • π= 3

Substitute the values into the formula.

V= (3)(4 \ ft)^2 (8 \ ft)

Solve the exponent.

  • (4 ft)²= 4 ft * 4 ft = 16 ft²

V= (3)(16 \ ft^2)(8 \ ft)

Multiply the three numbers together.

V= 48 \ ft^2 (8 \ ft)

V= 384 \ ft^3

The volume of the cylinder is approximately <u>384 cubic feet.</u>
