Answer:

The volume for the 0.26% is 250 ml and the volume for the 0.06% is 750 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the solution the techinician wants to create there's a total of:

salt = 1*0.11/100 = 0.0011

So the sum of the salt from the other two solutions must be equal to that, since the quantity of salt in each is given by:

salt1 = volume1*0.06/100 = volume1*0.0006

salt2 = volume2*0.26/100 = volume2*0.0026

The sum of the from the two solutions must be equal to the final one:

salt = salt1 + salt2

0.0011 = 0.0006*volume1 + 0.0026*volume2

while the volume of the solutions must be equal to 1 liter:

volume1 + volume2 = 1

If we isolate volume1 on the second equation and replace that on the first one we have:

volume1 = 1 - volume2

0.0006*(1 - volume2) + 0.0026*volume2 = 0.0011

0.0006 - 0.0006*volume2 + 0.0026*volume2 = 0.0011

0.002*volume2 = 0.0011-0.0006

0.002*volume2 = 0.0005

volume2 = 0.0005/0.002 = 0.25 liters = 250 ml

volume1 = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75 liters = 750 ml

The volume for the 0.26% is 250 ml and the volume for the 0.06% is 750 ml.

you have $15,000 to invest for 5 years at 5.5% annual interest rate that is compounded continuously. how much money will you hav
MissTica

Answer:

$19,747.96

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the continuous compound interest formula, which is shown below:

A = Pe^{rt}

<em>A = total</em>

<em>P = principal amount</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>t = time (years)</em>

<em />

First, lets change 5.5% into a decimal:

5.5% -> \frac{5.5}{100} -> 0.055

Next, plug in the values into the equation:

A=15,000e^{0.055(5)}

A=19,747.96

After 5 years, you will have $19,747.96
