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

Angel and Jayden were at track practice. The track is 2/5 kilometers around.  Angel ran 1 lap in 2 minutes.  Jayden ran 3 laps
choli [55]

Answer:

6/25 km in 1 min; or 0.24 km/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The info about Angel is not necessary.

Jayden runs 3 laps in 5 mins

Each lap is 2/5 km, so Jayden runs 3 x (2/5 km) in 5 min = 6/5 km in 5 min.

Distance = rate x time

6/5 km = rate (5 min)

We want to isolate r (rate), so divide both sides by 5 min

6/5 km ÷ 5 min = r

6/5 km (1/5 min) = r

6/25 km/min = r  (notice how the units worked out correctly to km/min)

So, Jayden runs 6/25 km in 1 min.

In a class of 47 students, the number of males is 7 less than twice the number of females. How many females and how many males a
Rom4ik [11]
X=number of females
47-x=number of males
# of males is 2*(number of females)-7:
47-x= 2x-7
add x to both sides:
47=3x-7
add 7 to both sides:
54=3x
divide both sides by 3:
x= 18 females
47-18= 29 males

Suppose that y varies inversely as x, and x=9 when y=15. Find the value for k and write the function. Group of answer choices La
Radda [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition that x = 9 when y = 15

15 = \frac{k}{9} ( multiply both sides by 9 )

k = 135

y = \frac{135}{x} ← equation of variation

10. Write in slope-intercept form:<br> -3x + 4y = 12
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write in slope-intercept form:

-3x + 4y = 12 is

 Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750

 x-intercept = 12/-3 = 4/-1 = -4.00000

 y-intercept = 12/4 = 3
