In Chemistry class, Samantha finds that she can make a certain solution by mixing 0.04 liters of chemical A with 0.02 liters of

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

0.16 liters of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha's recipe makes 0.06 liters of solution. She wants 0.48 liters of solution, an amount 0.48/0.06 = 8 times as great as made by one recipe.

The recipe calls for 0.02 liters of water. To make 8 times the amount of solution, Samantha will use 8 times as much water: 0.16 liters.

Samantha will use 0.16 liters of water to make 0.48 liters of solution.

Alternate solution

The fraction of solution that is water is (0.02 L)/(0.06 L) = 1/3. For 0.48 L of solution, the water needed is 1/3×0.48 L = 0.16 liters.

Well on this problem recall area of a rectangle is defined by:

A = lw our w = 1/6 and our l = (x + $\frac{2}{3}$ ) we have let 'x' represent our original length.
$(x + \frac{2}{3} )( \frac{1}{6} )= \frac{11}{72}$
$\frac{1}{6} x+ \frac{2}{18} = \frac{11}{72}$
12x + 8 = 11
12x = 11 - 8
12x = 3
x = $\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$ So our original length is $\frac{1}{4}$
