Suppose a lab needs to make 400 liters of a 39% acid solution, but the only solutions available to the lab are 20% acid and 50%

acid. What system of equations can be used to find the number of liters of each solution that should be mixed to make the 39% solution? Let c represent the number of liters of 20% acid solution and let d represent the number of liters of 50% acid solution.

Mixture problem.
Ratio of 20% : 50% acids
=50-39 : 39-20
=11:19
total volume
=400L
vol. of 20% acid=400*(11/(11+19)=400*(11/30)=146.667 L
vol. of 50% acid=400*(19/(11+19)=253.333 L

Alternatively, use c=volume of 20%, d=vol of 50%
then
0.2c+0.5d=400*0.39
Since c+d=400, we have
0.2c+0.5(400-c)=400*0.39=156
solve for c:
0.3c=44
c=146.667 and d=400-c=253.333  as before.

Answer:

2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer choices to this question do not make sense since probability is a measure that is always <= 1.0

Based on the number of times a particular colored tile is drawn we can assume that at the minimum there are 6 green, 20 red, 7 blue, 8 purple and 4 black tiles

Total number of tiles = 6 + 20 + 7 + 8 + 4 = 45

Probability of drawing a green tile = 6/45 = 2/15

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

i believe the answer to this is a total of 300 people because you multiply the ten percent into the 30 people which factors out some numerical values, so then your answer as i just said is 300 people in total attended the game.

If i get 60 dollars a day, how many days will it take to get 289,999 dollars?
vlabodo [156]
Well if you get 60 dollars every day we can represent that as 60d

We can set that equal to 289999 to solve for days, d.
289999 = 60d
289999/60 = d
4,833.3166667 = d
So 4,834 total days
