Leaking water has the rate of 2 gal per 5 minutes which is the same as :
2 gal ÷ 5 minutes = 0.4 gal/minute 
Then we multiply it by the number of minutes which is 23 as follows :
0.4 gal/minute × 23 minutes = 9.2 galons wasted during the 23 minutes

A metallurgist has an alloy with 5% titanium and an alloy with 30% titanium. He needs 100 grams of an alloy with 15% titanium. H
andrey2020 [161]
Let us convert the percentages to decimal format first.. so 5% is just 5/100 or 0.05 and 15% is just 15/100 or 0.15

so hmmm, so, let's say it needs "x" amount and "y" amount of each respectively, so, whatever "x" and "y" are, they must add up to 100, and whatever their concentration is, must add up to what the mixture yields

thus

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{5\% alloy}&x&0.05&0.05x\\
\textit{30\% alloy}&y&0.30&0.3y\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&100&0.15&15
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+y=100\implies \boxed{y}=100-x\\
0.05x+0.3y=15\\
----------\\
0.5x+0.3\left( \boxed{100-x} \right)=15
\end{cases}

solve for "x"

what's "y"? well, y = 100 - x
