Answer:

4 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There is 1 gallon of 10% solution

2. There is 2% saline in water

3. The equation is 10% of 1 gallon = 2% of solution of x gallons of water + saline

0.1 = 0.02(x + 1)

Subtracting 0.02 from both sides, we get

0.1 -0.02= 0.02x +0.02 -0.02

0.08 = 0.02x

Dividing both sides by 0.02, we get

0.08/0.02 = 0.02x/0.02

x = 4.

4. The answer is 4 gallons of water.

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.

Claire is painting some doors that are all the same size. She used 2 liters of paint to cobe 1 3/5 doors. How many liters of pai

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$1 \dfrac{1}{4} \ liters$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Claire uses 2 liters of paint to cover 1 3/5 doors

Then in order for her to paint 1 door, She will need:

2 L = 1 3/5 door

x L = 1 door

$x (L) = \dfrac{2 L \times 1 door }{ 1 \dfrac{3}{5} \ door}$

$x (L) = \dfrac{2 L }{ 1 \dfrac{3}{5} }$

$x (L) = \dfrac{2 L }{ \dfrac{8}{5} }$

$x (L) = \dfrac{2 L\times 5 }{ 8 }$

$x (L) = \dfrac{10 \ L }{ 8 }$

$x(L) =1 \dfrac{1}{4} \ L$
