Cannot reduce, it is already in simplest form. You can convert it to a decimal though, 0.671875
A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?
.
Let x = liters of 40% iodine
then
4-x = liters of 80% iodine
Using algebra:
.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)
.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2
3.20-.40x = 2
x = 4 liters (40% iodine)
80% iodine:
4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)
Each square represents 8
If it is 10×10 then there is 100 squares
800÷100=8
Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator. GCD of 10 and 18 is 2.
10 ÷ 218 ÷ 2.
Reduced fraction: 59. Therefore, 10/18 simplified to lowest terms is 5/9.
