A is what percent of B?

Mathematics
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

%33.33

Step-by-step explanation:

start by converting the 1.5 lbs into oz. 16 oz go into one pound.

since .5 is equivalent to one half, divide 16 in two to get 8 and then add 8 to 16.

You should get that 1.5 lbs = 24 oz

now divide 24 by 8

24/8 = 3

this shows that 8 goes into 24 three times. If three eights go into 24, then three ones go into 3. You can use this information to make a simplified fraction which is easy to convert over to a percent.

1/3

an last but not least, convert it to a percent

1/3 = %33.33

i hope this helped! i'm bad at explaining things so sorry if it's hard to understand lol

12.<br>The container shown has a capacity of 60 milliliters.<br>What fraction of it is empty?<br>​
White raven [17]

This is an incomplete question, the image is shown below.

Answer : The fraction empty container is, \frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

The capacity of container = 60 mL

In the given figure, the container is filled with 25 mL.

That means,

60 - 25 = 35 mL container is empty.

Now we have to calculate the fraction of it is empty.

The fraction of it is empty = \frac{\text{Capacity of empty container}}{\text{Total capacity of container}}

The fraction of it is empty = \frac{35mL}{60mL}

The fraction of it is empty = \frac{7}{12}

Therefore, the fraction empty container is, \frac{7}{12}

How many gallons each of 20​% alcohol and 10​% alcohol should be mixed to obtain 10gal of 11​% ​alcohol?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 20​% alcohol

y = 10​% alcohol

x + y = 10 (1)

0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)

From (1)

x = 10 - y

Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1

0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1

2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1

- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2

-0.10y = -0.9

y = -0.9/-0.10

y = 9 gal

substitute y = 9 into (1)

x + y = 10

x + 9 = 10

x = 10 - 9

x = 1 gal

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal
