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>

Q # 9 please find the area
Rudik [331]
To solve this problem you must apply the formula for calculate the surface area of a circle, which is shown below:
 SA=πir^2
 where r is the radius of the circle
 r=18 inches
 By substituying values, you have that the surface area is:
 SA=π(18 in)^2
 SA=324π in^2
 The answer is 324π in^2

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

T=N*M and he needs to read 44 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Let T represent the total amount of books that Alan needs to read in 11 months.

If we plug in the information we have been given we will find the total:

T=N*M

T=4*11

T=44

Alan has to read 44 books within a 11 month period.
