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.

Robert ran 3 1/3 mph for 3/4 of an hour. How far did he run?​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

2 ½ miles

Explanation:

mph = miles per hour, which means that if robert had run for the full 1 hour, he would have run 3 ⅓ miles.

however, since he only ran for ¾ of an hour, which is equal to 0.75, we can multiply the 3 ⅓ miles by 0.75 to get 2.5 or 2 ½ miles.

i hope this helps! :D
