Answer:
a
Generally given that the number of cups of blue to that of red paint is 3: 1 then the Lara mixed 3 cups of blue paint with 1 cup of red paint
b
The number is 
c
The price is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The ratio of the number of cups of blue paint to the number of cups of red paint is 
Generally given that the number of cups of blue to that of red paint is 3: 1 then the Lara mixed 3 cups of blue paint with 1 cup of red paint
Given that 1 cup of red paint => 3 cups of blue paint
x cup of red paint => 1 cup of blue paint
So
=>
Generally the unit price of a cup of blue paint is mathematically represented as
=>
Answer:
b = 6 sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
3^2 + b^2 = 9^2
9+b^2 = 81
b^2 = 81-9
b^2 = 72
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(72)
b = sqrt(36*2)
b = 6 sqrt(2)
Answer:
She uses 200 milliliters of solution B
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that there are two unknowns in this problem: 1) the amount of solution A that is being used, and 2) the amount of solution B being used. We can name such unknowns with letters to facilitate our work:
Amount of solution A to be used = A
Amount of solution B to be used = B
So, since we need to find two unknowns, we need to create a system of two equations to solve them.
Our first equation can be obtained from the sentence: "She uses twice as much Solution A as Solution B," which written in mathematical form is:
A = 2 B
The second equation we can build from the information of the amount of alcohol in each solution that combined will add up to 104 milliliters of alcohol in the mixture. Knowing the percent of alcohol in each solution, we can write an equation for the amount of alcohol:
0.19 A + 0.14 B = 104
Now we can use our first equation to substitute A in terms of B in the second equation:
0.19 (2 B) + 0.14 B = 104
0.38 B + 0.14 B = 104
0.52 B = 104
B = 104 / 0.52
B = 200 milliliters
