Answer:

19% alcohol solution = 65 ounces

37% alcohol solution = 25 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

19% alcohol solution = x

37% alcohol solution = y

x + y = 90 (1)

0.19x + 0.37y = 90*0.24

0.19x + 0.37y = 21.60 (2)

from (1)

x = 90 - y

Substitute into (2)

0.19x + 0.37y = 21.60

0.19(90-y) + 0.37y = 21.60

17.1 - 0.19y + 0.37y = 21.60

- 0.19y + 0.37y = 21.60 - 17.1

0.18y = 4.5

y = 4.5/0.18

y = 25 ounces

x + y = 90 (1)

x + 25 = 90

x = 90 - 25

x = 65 ounces

lana [24]
Area of right-angled triangle  is given by;

Area, A = 1/2 *b*h, Where b=base, h=height

Therefore,

A1 = 1/2bh = 16 in^2
A2 = 1/2 (2b)(2h) = 2bh

Ratio of increase = A2/A1 = {2bh}/(1/2bh} = 4 (the area is increased 4 times)
The,
A2 = 4*16 = 64 in^2
Therefore,
The area is increased by (64-16) = 48 in^2
