Answer:

Amount of 5% solution = 5.7 Litres

Amount of 40% solution = 4.3 Litres

Step-by-step explanation:

First, of all, let x be the amount of 5% solution used

Since, the scientist needs 10 L of solution, then;

Let 10 - x be the amount of 40% solution used

Now, we are told that she needs 10 L of a 20% acid solution.

This means that;

5%x + 40%(10 - x) = 20%(10).

Simplifying this gives;

0.05x + 0.40(10 - x) = 0.20 × 10

Expanding the bracket gives;

0.05x + 4 - 0.4x = 2

0.4x - 0.05x = 4 - 2

0.35x = 2

x = 2/0.35

x ≈ 5.7 litres

Thus, she will need to mix 5.7 liters of the 5% solution.

Since 10 - x be the amount of 40% solution used , then;

the amount of 40% solution = 10 - 5.7 = 4.3 litres

Can someone help me find the area
goldfiish [28.3K]
To find the volume of a container, you simply multiply: L(ength) x B(ase) x H(eight).

In total, you should get a volume of 1078in^3 (the bigger container) plus 175in^3 (the smaller container on top of the bigger one). The answer is 1,253in^3.

Hope this helped! :)

4500  = 4.5 * 10^3

57 = 5.7 * 10^1

730 = 7.3 * 10^2

0.007 = 7 * 10^-3

300.25  = 3.0025 * 10^2

56,325.2 = 5.63252 * 10^4
