Answer:

  • 4.0 L of 10%
  • 0.8 L of 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

For mixture problems, it is convenient to define a variable to represent the amount of the greatest contributor. Let x represent the amount of 22% solution in the mix. Then 4.8-x is the amount of 10% solution.

The amount of alcohol in the mix is ...

  0.22x +0.10(4.8-x) = 0.12(4.8)

Eliminating parentheses, we have ...

  0.22x -0.10x +0.10(4.8) = 0.12(4.8)

Subtracting (0.10)(4.8) and combining x-terms gives ...

  0.12x = 0.02(4.8)

  x = (0.02/0.12)(4.8) = 0.8 . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

The scientist needs 0.8 L of 22% solution and 4.0 L of 10% solution.

a probability experiment consists of fair eight sided die find the probability of rolling number greater than 4 ​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Probability[Number greater than 4] = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total side of die = 8

Find:

Probability[Number greater than 4]

Computation:

Number greater than 4;

[5,6,7,8]

Total number greater than 4 = 4

Probability[Number greater than 4] = Total number greater than 4 / Total side of die

Probability[Number greater than 4] = 4 / 8

Probability[Number greater than 4] = 1/2

Find the volume of the square pyramid showing. round to the nearest 10th if necessary
solong [7]
The volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid).

Here the area of the base is (10 ft)^2 = 100 ft^2.

13 ft is the height of one of the triangular sides, but not the height of the pyramid.  To find the latter, draw another triangle whose upper vertex is connected to the middle of one of the four equal sides of the base by a diagonal of length 13 ft.  That "middle" is 5 units straight down from the upper vertex.  Thus, you have a triangle with known hypotenuse (13 ft) and known opposite side 5 feet (half of 10 ft).  What is the height of the pyramid?  
To find this, use the Pyth. Thm.:  (5 ft)^2 + y^2 = (13 ft)^2.  y = 12 ft.

Then the vol. of the pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid) =
(1/3)(100 ft^2)(12 ft) = 400 ft^3 (answer)
