How much water should be added to 3 gallons of pure acid in order to obtain the 15% acid solution? HELP DUE BY TOMMOROW MORNING

1 answer:

5 0

3 gallons of acid = 100% concentration acid
? (water+acid) gallons = 15 concentration acid

Note: Every gallon of water added reduces the percentage concentration of acid. Therefore, the relationship is inverse proportionality.

Solution:

Total number of gallons (water+acid) = (3*100)/15 = 20 gallons
Therefore, gallons of water = 20-3 = 17 gallons

The area of the rug is 4 15/36<br> The rug is 2 3/4 meters in height <br> How wide is the rug

sineoko [7]

I assume the rug is rectangle.

The area of rectangle is width (W) multiply by hight (H)

$A=4\frac{15}{36}=4\frac{5\cdot3}{12\cdot3}=4\frac5{12}\\\\H=2\frac34\\\\\\A=W\cdot H\\\\4\frac{5}{12}=W\cdot2\frac34\\\\4\frac5{12}:2\frac34=W\\\\ \frac{4\cdot12+5}{12}:\frac{2\cdot4+3}{4}=W\\\\ \frac{53}{12}:\frac{11}4=W\\\\ \frac{53}{12}\cdot\frac4{11}=W\\\\ \frac{53\cdot4}{3\cdot4\cdot11}=W\\\\W=\frac{53}{33}\\\\W=1\frac{20}{33}$

The rug is $1\frac{20}{33}$ meters wide

X and y intercepts of -3x+4y=-36

Andrews [41]

X intercept is 12
Y intercept is 9.
To find answer just cover up the one you don't want.
For x it would be -3x=-36
For y it would be 4y=-36

What is the least prime number greater than 50?

uysha [10]

A prime number is a number that has only two factors: 1 and itself
For example, the number 7 has two factors: 1,7 This makes 7 a prime number
Since the number has to be greater than 50, we can go to the next whole number; 51
51 has four factors, 1,3,17,51 This is not our prime number
52 is even so obviously it's not prime because you can divide by two
53 has only two factors; 1,53 This means that its prime and the answer is 53 :)
