Answers:

Gabe needs 30 liters of the 50% solution

Gabe needs 30 liters of the 70% solution

Both answers are 30

==================================

Explanation:

We have two beakers, each of which we don't know how much is inside. Let's call this x and y

x = amount of liquid in the first beaker (water+acid)

y = amount of liquid in the second beaker (water+acid)

We're told that the beakers have a 50% solution and a 70% solution of acid. This means that the first beaker has 0.5*x liters of pure acid, and the second beaker has 0.7*y liters of pure acid. In total, there is 0.5x+0.7y liters of pure acid when we combine the two beakers. This is out of x+y = 60 liters total, which we can solve for y to get y = 60-x. We will use y = 60-x later on when it comes to the substitution step

We can divide the total amount of pure acid (0.5x+0.7y liters) over the total amount of solution (x+y = 60) to get the following

(0.5x+0.7y)/(x+y) = (0.5x+0.7y)/60

We want this to be equal to 0.6 because Gabe wants a 60% solution when everything is said and done, so

(0.5x+0.7y)/60 = 0.60

0.5x+0.7y = 0.60*60 .... multiply both sides by 60

0.5x+0.7y = 36

0.5x+0.7( y ) = 36

0.5x+0.7(60-x) = 36 ........ replace y with 60-x (substitution step)

0.5x+0.7(60)+0.7(-x) = 36 .... distribute

0.5x+42-0.7x = 36

-0.2x+42 = 36

-0.2x = 36-42 .... subtract 42 from both sides

-0.2x = -6

x = -6/(-0.2) .... divide both sides by -0.2

x = 30

He needs 30 liters of the 50% solution

Use this x value to find y

y = 60-x

y = 60-30

y = 30

So he needs 30 liters of the 70% solution

Suppose that you are asked if there would be a strong or weak correlation between the number of people shopping in malls and the
solong [7]

There could be a strong correlation between the proximity of the holiday season and the number of people who buy in the shopping centers.

It is known that when there are vacations people tend to frequent shopping centers more often than when they are busy with work or school.

Therefore, the proximity in the holiday season is related to the increase in the number of people who buy in the shopping centers.

This means that there is a strong correlation between both variables, since when one increases the other also does. This type of correlation is called positive. When, on the contrary, the increase of one variable causes the decrease of another variable, it is said that there is a negative correlation.

There are several coefficients that measure the degree of correlation (strong or weak), adapted to the nature of the data. The best known is the 'r' coefficient of Pearson correlation

A correlation is strong when the change in a variable x produces a significant change in a variable 'y'. In this case, the correlation coefficient r approaches | 1 |.

When the correlation between two variables is weak, the change of one causes a very slight and difficult to perceive change in the other variable. In this case, the correlation coefficient approaches zero

When constructing a perpendicular bisector why must the compass opening be greater than 1/2.
muminat

It is critical to open a compass with over half the way in order for the arcs formed to meet for perpendicular bisector.

<h3>What is perpendicular bisector?</h3>

A perpendicular bisector would be a line that cuts a line segment in half and forms a 90-degree angle at the intersection point. In other words, a perpendicular bisector separates a line segment now at midpoint, forming a 90-degree angle.

Now, consider an example;

When you wish to build a perpendicular line on a line segment, like line AB, you do the following;

  1. Set the compass on a radius more than half the length of the line AB.
  2. Using A as your center, draw an arc above and below line AB.
  3. With the same radius and B as our center, draw additional arcs on top or below line AB to join a first arcs on the both side of the line.
  4. Join the two arc intersections to cut line AB at M.

A line AB appears to be bisected perpendicularly as a result. The arcs would not have met if the compass is opened less than half way down line AB.
