HELP ME PLEASE!

Mathematics
1 answer:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

26% is (26-20)/(50-20) = 6/30 = 1/5 of the way between 20% and 50%. That means 1/5 of the solution is 50% acid.

50% acid: 1/5 · 100 mL = 20 mL

20% acid: 100 mL -20 mL = 80 mL

Delbert must mix 80 mL of 20% acid and 20 mL of 50% acid.

_____

Maybe you'd like to see an equation. Let x represent the amount of 50% acid required. Then 100-x is the amount of 20% acid needed.  The amount of acid in the mix is ...

  0.50(x) +0.20(100 -x) = 0.26(100)

  (0.50 -0.20)x = (0.26 -0.20)100 . . . . subtract 0.20(100)

  x = (0.26 -0.20)/(0.50 -0.20)×100 = 20

This last expression should look a lot like the one we started with in this answer. It shows you how you can almost write down the answer to mixture problems without a lot of work.

Rewrite the following without an exponent. 6^-2<br> Please answer ASAP!
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Rewriting 6^{-2} without an exponent we get \mathbf{\frac{1}{36}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to rewrite the following without an exponent. 6^{-2}

We need to solve the exponent to find the result.

We know the exponent rule: a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}

Now using this rule to solve the equation:

6^{-2}\\=\frac{1}{6^2}\\We \:know \:that\:6^2 = 6\times 6=36\\=\frac{1}{36}

So, Rewriting 6^{-2} without an exponent we get \mathbf{\frac{1}{36}}
