Answer:
The number of liters for container R = x = 0.5 liters
The number of liters for container S = y = 1.5 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of liters of container R = x
Let the number of liters of container S = y
We are told in the question : that
Container R holds a solution that is 20% alcohol
= 20% × x = 0.20x
Container S holds a solution that is 60% alcohol.
= 60% × y = 0.60y
How many liters of solution from each container should be used to create 2 liters of solution that is 50% alcohol?
Hence;
x + y = 2 ....... Equation 1
x = 2 - y
0.20x + 0.60y = 2 × 50%
0.20x + 0.60y = 1........ Equation 2
Substitute
2-y for x in Equation 3
0.20(2 - y) + 0.60y = 1
0.40 - 0.20y + 0.60y = 1
Collect like terms
0.40y = 1 - 0.40
0.40y = 0.60
y = 0.60/0.40
y = 1.5 liters
Note that :
x = 2 - y
x = 2 - 1.5
x = 0.5 liters
Therefore,
the number of liters for container R = x = 0.5 liters
the number of liters for container S = y = 1.5 liters.
Answer: 96
You add 12 every week, so you can multiply 12 by 8 (12 x 8) and you get 96!
Answer:
7 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Bamboo plant A = 1.2 + 0.45d
Bamboo plant B = 0.85 + 0.5d
Where,
d = number of days
Equate the two growth
Bamboo plant A = Bamboo plant B
1.2 + 0.45d = 0.85 + 0.5d
Collect like terms
1.2 - 0.85 = 0.5d - 0.45d
0.35 = 0.05d
Divide both sides by 0.05
d = 0.35 / 0.05
d = 7 days
Plant B be taller than Plant A after 7 days
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
36 + 64 = 100
Square root of 100 is 10
a=6 b=8 c=10
I'm so sorry if I got this wrong.
