Answer:
Therefore the third container contains
= 43.23 % acid.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, One container is filled with the mixture that 25% acid. 55% acid is contain by second container.
Let the volume of first container be x cubic unit.
Since the volume of second container is 55% larger than the first.
Then the volume of the second container is
cubic unit.
cubic unit.
The amount of acid in first container is
cubic unit.
cubic unit.
The amount of acid in second container is
cubic unit.
cubic unit.
Total amount of acid

cubic unit.
The amount of acid in the mixture is



Therefore the third container contains
acid.
Answer:
x = 45/13, also x = 3 6/13
Step-by-step explanation:
is = equal sign
of = multiply
<u>Equation:</u>
To do this, you could easily do communitive property of multiplication, but to make it more understandable I will use reversing.
1. Simplify. Multiply - Divide.

2. Factor out common term 5.

3. Multiply both sides by 3.

4. Expand.

5. Add <em>10x</em> to both sides.

Simplify. <em>3x + 10x = 13x.</em>

Divide both sides by 13.

Mixed Number =
.
You can also use distributive property. The formula for this problem is:
.
Teachers / Students = 3 / 74
Teachers / 2,500 = 3 / 74
To solve a proportion,
you cross-multiply: Teachers x 74 = 2,500 x 3
Divide each side by 74 : Teachers = 2,500 x 3 / 74
= 101.4 ===> 101 teachers
