175 mL at 25% concentration of alcohol contains 0.25 (175 mL) = 43.75 mL of alcohol. If <em>v</em> is the amount of the 70% solution that you use, then that amount contains 0.7<em>v</em> mL of alcohol.

Mixing these two yields a total volume of 175 mL + <em>v</em>, and it contains 43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> alcohol. You want to end up with a concentration of 45%, which means the ratio of the amount of alcohol to the total volume needs to be 0.45:

(43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em>) / (175 mL + <em>v</em>) = 0.45

Solve for <em>v</em> :

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 0.45 (175 mL + <em>v</em>)

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 78.75 mL + 0.45<em>v</em>

0.25<em>v</em> = 35 mL

<em>v</em> = 140 mL

Answer:

transitive property

Step-by-step explanation:

According to transitive property, if there is some relation between a and b by some rule , and then there same relation between  b and c by some rule, then

A and C are related to each other by some rule.

Example:

A = B

B=C

then by transitive property

A=C

As value of A and C are same that is B we can say that A is equal to C whose value is B.

_______________________________________________

Given

a =2z and 2z=b

here both c and b has value equal to Z , Thus, they follow transitive property.
