Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
due to the fact that its true/false questions, so that means when you answer you have 2 choices. a 50/50 chance of getting them right or wrong
From the given figure, we know that:
This means that the three sides of triangle MNO are congruent to three sides of triangle LMO. Therefore, the triangles are congruent by Side Side Side postulate.
X = amount of 50% solution
y = total amount after mixing
Note that the amount of alcohol in the 20% solution is 80 (0.2) = 16 oz.
We have 2 unknowns, so we need 2 equations:
first, we can write the equation for the total volume:
y = x + 80
next, apply the percentages to get an equation for the amount of alcohol:
0.4 y = 0.5 x + 16
Finally, solve the pair of equations (in this case, by substitution of the 1st into the second:
0.4 (x + 80) = 0.5x + 16
0.4 x + 32 = 0.5X + 16
rearrange and combine like terms:
0.1x = 16
x = 160
from the 1st equation:
y = 160 + 80 = 240
Answer:
8/5 or 1 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/5 = 12/5
1 1/2 = 3/2
Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...
12 3 12 2 24 8 3
— ÷ — = — × — = — = — <em>or</em> 1 —
5 2 5 3 15 5 5
*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.
Use the rule of 3 simple
x mean 100%
3 mean 15%
-------------------
x = 3*100/15 = 300/15 = 20
hope this will help you
