Let x be the amount (gal) of the 40% slime solution you end up using. You want to end up with 120 gal of the 50% solution, so that you would use 120-x gal of the 70% solution.

You want the final solution to consist of 50% slime, or 60 gal of slime. Each gal of the 40% solution contributes 0.4 gal of slime, while each gal of the 70% solution contributes 0.7 gal of slime. This means

0.4x+0.7(120-x)=0.5\cdot120=60

\implies0.4x+84-0.7x=60

\implies24=0.3x

\implies x=80

so the answer is B.

A wheel has a diameter of 70 cm and completes a revolution in 0.25 seconds at top speed
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

  • 8π radians/second
  • 527.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The angular velocity is the ratio of angular distance to time:

  ω = 1 revolution / (0.25 s) = (2π radians)/(0.25 s)

  ω = 8π radians/second

__

B) The arc length is ...

  s = rθ = rωt

  s = (35 cm)(8π rad/s)(60 s) = 16,800π cm

  s ≈ 52779 cm = 527.79 m

The wheel travels about 527.8 meters in one minute.
