Answer:

33 1/3 liters of 30%
16 2/3 liters of 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the liters of 45% solution needed. Then the amount of HCl in the mix is ...

0.45x +0.30(50 -x) = 0.35(50)

0.15x = 0.05(50) . . . . . simplify, subtract 0.30(50)

x = (0.05/0.15)(50) = 50/3 = 16 2/3 . . . liters of 45% HCl

33 1/3 liters of 30% and 16 2/3 liters of 45% HCl are needed.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

You may notice that the general solution to a mixture problem of this sort is that the fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is ...

(mix % - low %) / (high % - low %) = (.35 -.30) / (.45 -.30) = .05/.15 = 1/3

Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify:

3p = 6

Then, divide 3 on both sides:

p = 2

A bag contains n blue and m red marbles. You randomly pick a marble from the bag, write down its color, and then put the marble

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

(mn+n²)/(m+n)

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of blue marble= n/(n+m)

probability of red marble= m/(n+m)

probability that process stops = Probability of both blue + probability of both red= n/(n+m) × n/(n+m) + m/(n+m)×m/(n+m)

= (n²+m²)/(n+m)²

P(1st marbel is blue)= P(blue and red) + P(blue and blue)

= mn/(n+m) + n²/(n+m)

= (mn+n²)/(m+n)

P(1st marble is blue | process stops)= ( (mn+n²)/(m+n)× (n²+m²)/(n+m)²)/ ((n²+m²)/(n+m)²)

= (mn+n²)/(m+n)

An agency has 4,000 employees. 2,000 employees have at least two years of college education. 1,000 of those employees have bache

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

1/80 of the agency's employees have PhDs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of employees = 4000

Number of employees with bachelors degree = 1000

Fraction of employees with graduate degree = 1/4 of 1000 = 250

1/5 of the employees with graduate degrees have PhD.

Number of employees with PhDs = 1/5 of 250 = 50

Now,

Fraction of PhD employees to total employees = $\frac{50}{4000} = \frac{1}{80}$

Hence,

1/80 of the agency's employees have PhDs.
