3 gallons of acid = 100% concentration acid
? (water+acid) gallons = 15 concentration acid
Note: Every gallon of water added reduces the percentage concentration of acid. Therefore, the relationship is inverse proportionality.
Solution:
Total number of gallons (water+acid) = (3*100)/15 = 20 gallons
Therefore, gallons of water = 20-3 = 17 gallons
<span>B. 16 quarts of the 2% milk and 24 quarts of the 7% milk
First, let's create an equation to solve.
x = quarts of 2% milk
(40-x) = quarts of 7% milk
So we have the equation
x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5
Now to solve for x
x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5
x*2 + 7*40 - 7*x = 40*5
x*2 - 7*x = 40*5 - 7*40
-5*x = - 2*40
x = 2*8
x = 16
So we need 16 quarts of 2% milk and 40-16 = 24 quarts of 7%, which matches option "B".</span>
Answer:
rectangles are similar figures, thus if scaled copies of each other then the ratios of corresponding sides must be equal
compare ratios of lengths and widths
rectangles A and B
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = = ← ratio of widths
scale factors are equivalent, hence rectangle A is a scaled copy of B
rectangles C and B
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = = ← ratio of width
scale factors (k ) are not equal, hence C is not a scaled copy of B
rectangles A and C
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = ← ratio of widths
the scale factors are not equal hence A is not a scaled copy of C

Answer:
C. y is 6 less than x
Step-by-step explanation:
It is not hard to check.
A. 6 times x is 6×8 = 48, not 2
B. 6 times y is 6×2 = 12, not 8
C. 6 less than 8 is 2; 6 less than 9 is 3
D. 6 more than 8 is 14, not 2
