So basically, he wants to make mixture where lemon=lime
it is 6 gallons so
40% of 6=0.4 times 60=2.4=lemon
60% of 6=0.6 times 60=3.6=lime
so to make them equal
3.6-2.4=1.2
he must add 1.2 gallons of 100% lemon juice to make a mixture of 50% lemon and 50% lime
1.2 gallons is the answer
Answer:
the answer is 0.84
Step-by-step explanation:
assume the two numbers are on a number line and take the absolute value of their difference
Answer: 14x² - 4x - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as
Area = length × width
The rectangular back yard measures 5x + 4 by 3x - 2. This means that the area of the rectangular back yard would be
Area = (5x + 4)(3x - 2)
Area = 15x² - 10x + 12x - 8
= 15x² + 2x - 8
The formula for determining the area of a square is expressed as
Area = length²
Length of square patio = x + 3
Area of square patio = (x + 3)(x + 3)
= x² + 3x + 3x + 9
= x² + 6x + 9
The expression for the area of grass that will be left in the back yard after the patio is built is
15x² + 2x - 8 - (x² + 6x + 9)
= 15x² + 2x - 8 - x² - 6x - 9
= 15x² - x² + 2x - 6x - 8 - 9
= 14x² - 4x - 17
Answer:
5/8 - (1/4)^2 = 0.5625, hope this helps!
