Answer:
Arlene had 175 and Celine had 225
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 because 2/3 is pretty much 66%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a differential equation problem most easily solved with an exponential decay equation of the form
. We know that the initial amount of salt in the tank is 28 pounds, so
C = 28. Now we just need to find k.
The concentration of salt changes as the pure water flows in and the salt water flows out. So the change in concentration, where y is the concentration of salt in the tank, is
. Thus, the change in the concentration of salt is found in
inflow of salt - outflow of salt
Pure water, what is flowing into the tank, has no salt in it at all; and since we don't know how much salt is leaving (our unknown, basically), the outflow at 3 gal/min is 3 times the amount of salt leaving out of the 400 gallons of salt water at time t:

Therefore,
or just
and in terms of time,

Thus, our equation is
and filling in 16 for the number of minutes in t:
y = 24.834 pounds of salt
%66.666
Because 4/6 times it will be that which is %66.666
Answer:
AE = 15 cm; ED = 18 cm; AD = 15 cm (given)
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔBEC ~ ΔAED so ...
AD/BC = AE/BE = (BE+AB)/BE = 1 + AB/BE
Substituting given numbers (lengths in centimeters), we have ...
15/10 = 1 + 5/BE
1/2 = 5/BE
BE = 10
Similarly, ...
1/2 = 6/CE
CE = 12
Then the unknown sides are ...
AE = AB + BE = 5 + 10 = 15 . . . cm
ED = CE + CD = 12 + 6 = 18 . . . cm
