Answer:

1.14 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 8% glycerin solution and we need to make it 16% glycerin solution [more concentration].

When we add "x" liters, we add glycerin as well as changes the total. in 12 Liters, there is 12 * 0.08 = 0.96Liters of glycerin. How much we need to add to this??

Note, 16% = 0.16

We can write a Ratio as shown below, cross multiply and solve for x:

$\frac{0.96+x}{12+x}=0.16\\(12+x)(0.16)=0.96+x\\1.92+0.16x=0.96+x\\1.92-0.96=x-0.16x\\0.96=0.84x\\x=1.14$

We need to add around 1.14 liters

Mikhael wanted to rewrite the conversion factor "1 yard ≈ 0.914 meter" to create a conversion factor to convert meters to yards.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

$1\ meter = 1.094\ yard$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$1\ yard = 0.914\ meter$

Required

Create a convert meter to yard expression

$1\ yard = 0.914\ meter$

Divide both sides by 0.914

$\frac{1\ yard}{0.914} = \frac{0.914\ meter}{0.914}$

$\frac{1\ yard}{0.914} = 1\ meter$

$1.09409190372\ yard = 1\ meter$

$1\ meter = 1.09409190372\ yard$

$1\ meter = 1.094\ yard$ --- approximated

This is for the last post

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Well for Part A-

List the temperatures from least to greatest; anything under 0 degrees is the lowest.

-6.1

-2.5

-0.4

3.4

And for Part B-

You can use a number line to order the temperatures because it's a good way to sort which ones are the lowest and highest easily.

Solve for X. Please!!

pychu [463]

Answer:

x = 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

By Basic Proportionality Theorem:

$\frac{x}{20} = \frac{46 - 16}{16} \\ \\ \frac{x}{20} = \frac{30}{16} \\ \\ x = \frac{20 \times 30}{16} \\ \\ x = \frac{600}{16} \\ \\ x = 37.5$

In the figure, triangle CAE is an enlargement of triangle CBD with scale factor of 4/3. The area of the smaller triangle is 9cm2

balandron [24]

Answer:

16 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\triangle CAE$ -- Bigger Triangle

$\triangle CBD$ -- Smaller Triangle

$k = \frac{4}{3}$ --- Scale factor

Area of CBD = 9

Required

Determine the area of CAE

The area of triangle CBD is:

$A_1 = \frac{1}{2}bh$

$\frac{1}{2}bh = 9$

The area of CAE is:

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}BH$

Where:

$B = \frac{4}{3}b$ and

$H = \frac{4}{3}h$

The above values is the dimension of the larger triangle (after dilation).

So, we have:

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}b * \frac{4}{3} * h$

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3} * \frac{4}{3} *b* h$

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{16}{9} *b* h$

Re-order

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*\frac{1}{2}* b* h$

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*\frac{1}{2}bh$

Recall that:

$\frac{1}{2}bh = 9$

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*9$

$A_2 = 16$

Hence, the area is 16 cm^2

A jug contains some orange juice. After pouring 240 milliliters of the orange juice into a cup, there are 875 milliliters of ora

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

1,115 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The original amount of OJ is what we're trying to find, so that will be our variable, x. Now, keep in mind the order of events to write the correct equation. We started with the x amount of OJ, then 240 mL was taken away, to leave us with 875 mL. So, x - 240 = 875. Then we solve this by adding 240 to both sides to get the x alone. This gives us x=1,115 mL!
