Feet cubed is used when finding volume, feet squared is used when finding area, and feet is used when finding length, so in this case you would use feet

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

600 L of 30% proof and 400 L of 80% proof is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of 30% smell proof be x while that of 80% smell proof is y

Then;

x + y = 1000 •••••(i)

Also;

30% of x + 80% of y = 50% of 1000

0.3x + 0.8y = 500 •••••(ii)

From i, x = 1000 - y

Put this into ii

0.3(1000-y) + 0.8y = 500

300 - 0.3y + 0.8y = 500

0.5y = 500-300

0.5y = 200

y = 200/0.5

y = 400 L

But x = 1000 - y

x = 1000 - 400 = 600 L

Could I get help on some algebra? I need the explanation to know how to do it. +45 points
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A is right, D is right because they are on the outside and on different sides, B is actually right since they are on the inside and on different sides, so that leaves c, so this has to be the wrong one because they are not both interior since 5 is on the outside and 6 is inside even if they are both on the same side
