Answer:
C. 11 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10
1/4 + 3/4 + 1/4 = 1 1/4
1/2 -> 2/4
2/4 + 1 1/4 = 1 3/4
10 + 1 3/4 = 11 3/4
Answer:
I asked my teacher if we could use that she said it's considered cheating, I still use it
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.
8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.
The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means
(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60
Solve for <em>q</em> :
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>
0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6
<em>q</em> = 4
" the sum " means add
the sum of 8 and a number...
