Answer:

17.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

x L  of  30% solution , has 0.30x salt

35 L of 25 % solution, has (0.25*35) salt

(35 - x)L  20% solution, has 0.20*(35 - x) salt

Mass of salt before mixing = mass of salt after mixing

0.3x + 0.2(35 - x) = 0.25* 35

0.3 x + 7 - 0.2x = 8.75

0.1x = 8.75 -7

0.1x = 1.75

x = 17.5 L

Answer:

Answer in simplified form is - 10 1/2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

(5 1/4) ÷ (- 2 1/2)

This can be simplified as :

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2)

Since 5 1/4 = 21/4  and -2 1/ 2 = -5/2

So we can write,

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2) = 21/4 ÷ ( - 5/2)

or (21/4) / (-5/2)

or ( 21/4) * (-2/5)

or -42/20

or -21/10

or - 10 1/2 , this is the answer

Hence we get answer in simplified form as -10 1/2
