Let 'a' be the number of ounces of 2%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture
and 'b' be the number of ounces of 5%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture.
Since, fluid ounces of each concentration should be combined to make 25 fl oz.
So, a+b=25 (Equation 1)
And, a container of 2% acid solution and a container of 5% acid solution should be combined to make 25 fl oz of 3.2% acid solution.
So, a of 2% + b of 5% = 3.2% of 25
Multiplying the above equation by 100, we get
(Equation 2)
Substituting the value of a=25-b in equation 2, we get
Since, a=25-b
a= 25-10
a=15.
So, 15 fluid ounces of 2% solution combined with 10 ounces of the 5% solution to create a 25-ounce mixture at 3.2% concentration of acid.
The answer would be s=-60
Alrighty, so, you know how young children often believe that a taller container will have a greater volume than a shorter container? Even after seeing that both containers hold the same amount, some children will still think the taller container holds more. It may take measuring the water a few times before they get it.
<em>If it overflows, the first container is bigger, or is able to hold more water. If all of the water from the first container can be poured into the second container without completely filling it, then the second container holds more water.</em>
The tallest container holds the most liquid. Identical containers can have a different capacity.
The answer is c. If the answer is wrong i am sorry
