15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
Answer:
the idea behind the recurring decimal as a fraction, is to first off, multiply or divide by some power of 10, in order that we leave the recurring decimal to the right of the decimal point.
then we multiply by a power of 10, in order to move the repeating digits to the left of the decimal point, anyhow, let's proceed.
notice, we first divided by 10, to move the decimal point over to the right by 1 slot, then we multiplied by 100, to move it two digits over the decimal point, namely the repeating "12", thus we use 100. i think
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The simplest (and most commonly used) area calculations are for squares and rectangles. To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area.
