The concentration of the mixture obtained by mixing two solutions, A and B, is 6 2/3 %. The concentration of the second mixture

obtained by mixing the same two solutions is 16.7%. Find the concentration of each of the solutions A and B, if the first mixture is obtained by mixing them in 2:7 ratio and the second is obtained by mixing them in 7:3 ratio.

Answer:

Concentration of solution A = 23%

and concentration of solution B = 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets get started

lets say that we concentration of solution A be x% and concentration of second solution be y%

we also know that first mixture is obtained by mixing them in ratio of 2:7

so linear equation representing this situation can be written as:

2(x%)+7(y%)= 9(6.66%)    

changing percentage to decimal we get,

.02x+.07y=9(.0666)

.02x+.07y = 0.6          (equation 1 )

similarly , second mixture is obtained by mixing them in ratio of 7:3

so linear equation can be written as:

7(x%)+3(y%) = 10(16.7%)

.07x +.03y = 1.67     (equation 2)

solving equations 1 and 2  we get

x =  23 and y = 2

so concentration of solution A = 23%

and concentration of solution B = 2%

That's the final answer

Hope it was helpful !!

3 years ago a father was 3 times as old as his son, in five years time he will be twice as old as his son, what will be the sum
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 46 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:

Father = x - 3

son     = y - 3

Then , from the first statement :

x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )

x - 3 = 3y - 9

x     = 3y - 9 + 3

x     = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1

In five years time

father = x + 5

son = y + 5

Then , from the second statement

x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )

x + 5 = 2y + 10

x       = 2y + 10 - 5

x       = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have

3y -6 = 2y + 5

add 6 to both sides

3y = 2y + 5 + 6

subtract 2y from both sides

3y - 2y = 11

y = 11

substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x

x = 3y - 6

x = 3(11) - 6

x = 33 - 6

x = 27

This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.

In four years time

father = 27 + 4 = 31

son = 11 + 4      = 15

sum of their ages in four years time will be

31 + 15 = 46 years

Can someone please explain step by step on how I subtract fractions like for an a example!
kotykmax [81]

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
