to arrive at 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution. How many liters of eac

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

<u>800 liters</u> of 90% saline solution and <u>1200 liters</u> of 40% saline solution should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution.

Now, to find the number of liters of saline solution each should be used.

<u><em>Let the liters of 90% saline solution mix be </em></u> $x.$ <u><em /></u>

<u><em>And let the liters of 40% saline solution mix be</em></u> $y.$

So, the total number of liters:

$x+y=2000.$

$y=2000-x\ \ \ ....(1)$

Now, the total percentage of saline solution:

$90\%\ of\ x+40\%\ of\ y=60\%\ of\ 2000$

$\frac{90}{100}\times x+\frac{40}{100}\times y=\frac{60}{100}\times 2000$

$0.9x+0.4y=1200$

Substituting the value of $y$ from equation (1) we get:

$0.9x+0.4(2000-x)=1200$

$0.9x+800-0.4x=1200$

$0.5x+800=1200$

Subtracting both sides by 800 we get:

$0.5x=400$

Dividing both sides by 0.5 we get:

$x=800.$

<u>The liters of 90% saline solution mix = 800.</u>

Now, substituting the value of $x$ in equation (1) to get the liters of 40% saline solution:

$y=2000-x$

$y=2000-800$

$y=1200.$

<u>Thus, the liters of 40% saline solution = 1200.</u>

Therefore, 800 liters of 90% saline solution and 1200 liters of 40% saline solution should be used.

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a regular polygon so all sides are congruent, therefore:

The perimeter of the polygon = 6*34 = 204 units.

We can divide the polygon into 6 conguent triangle with height 30 and base 34.

So area of 1 triangle = 1/2*34*30 = 510.

So area of the polygon = 6 * 510 = 3060 unit^2.

Perimeter of the polygon = 6*34 = 204 units.

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF.

Sav [38]

Answer: x=7.7, y=40

3/x = 15/38.5

38.5*3=115.5

115.5/15= 7.7

x=7.7

3/8 = 15/y

15*8=120

120/3= 40

y=40

orrrr you can just easily find the scale factor which is 5, multiply 8 by 5 and get 40. And 38.5/5 which is 7.7
