Answer:

66 ounces 70% salt solution and of 44 ounces of 95% salt solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = volume needed of 70% salt solution.

Let y = volume needed of 95% salt solution.

Total needed: 110 ounces of 80% salt solution.

Equation of total volumes:

x + y = 110    Equation 1

Equation of percentages of salt:

0.7x + 0.95y = 0.8(110)

0.7x + 0.95y = 88     Equation 2

Multiply both sides of equation 1 by -0.7; write equation 2 below it and add the equations.

       -0.7x - 0.7y = -77

(+)   0.7x + 0.95y = 88

--------------------------------

                  0.25y = 11

y = 44

x + y = 110

x + 44 = 110

x = 66

Answer: 66 ounces 70% salt solution and of 44 ounces of 95% salt solution

Answer:

x= 44 ounces y = 66 ounces  

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution would be an increase to find 80% salt.

Where we use 4/5 = 80 but use here 4/5.

We find 19/20 but just say 95 for solution B =

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 110        y = 110 - x

(70x + 95y) = 4/5 x 110

70x + 95y = 88    

70x + 95 y = 88

70x + 95 (88 - x) = 8800 make units equal or for start convert decimalization = same units as 2nd multiplied value.

70x + 8360 - 88x = 8800

-10x - 8360 - 8800 = y

-10x = 440

x = 44 ounces

y = 110- 44

y =  66 ounces

3. The equation 4x + 16y = 36 is a true equation for a particular
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation 4x+16y=36 is a true equation for a particular value of x.

Now, let's see what happens if we divide everything by 4. In other words:

\frac{4x+16}{4}=\frac{36}{4}

Divide:

x+4=9

So, we get x+4=9.

When we divided everything by 4, we used the division property of equality. Under this property, the equation remains the same even if we divided since we did the <em>same thing to both sides of the equation. </em>

Therefore, x+4y=9 is also true for the same value of x because it is just a simplified version of 4x+16y=36.

Helpppppppppppp plss with this problem
3241004551 [841]

Given :7872 ÷ 305.

Because it's estimation. So, we need to estimate the number 7872 to 8000.

In order to divide 8000 by a number we need to estimate 305 to the 400. Because 400 is exact divisor of 8000.

If we divide 8000 by 400 we get 20.

And it's obviously less then 60000 ÷ 300= = 200.

20 < 200.

<h3>Therefore, Harrison is absolutely correct.</h3>

which statement correctly compares two values? a)the value of the 7 in 37.596 is 1/10 the value of the7 in 26.74 b) the value of
Andrews [41]

The value of 7 in 26..74 is 0.7

The value of 7 in 37.596 is 7.

1/10 the value of 7 in 26.74 is 0.07 and 0.07 ≠ 7.

So, statement a) is incorrect.

1/100 the value of 7 in 26.74 is 0.007 and 0.007 ≠ 7.

So, statement c) is incorrect.

100 times the value of 7 in 26.74 is 70 and 70 ≠ 7.

So, statement d) is incorrect.

10 times the value of 7 in 26.74 is 7 and 7 = 7.

So, statement b) is correct and it correctly compares two values.
