Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{Solution A: 32 ounces}}

\huge\boxed{\text{Solution B: 8 ounces}}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, let's first understand what the question is asking.

If we combine Solution A (with 35% salt) and Solution B (with 85% salt), our goal is to create a 40 ounce mixture with 45% salt.

Let's model an equation for this, assuming that a is the amount of ounces of Solution A and b is the amount of ounces of Solution B.

0.35a+0.85b= 40 \cdot 0.45

<em>Why?</em> Since 35% of a number is the same as multiplying it by 0.35, we can multiple the total number of ounces by the decimal to find how many ounces of it will contain salt.

We also know that we need 40 ounces of this mixture. Therefore, adding together Solution A and B must get 40:

a+b=40

We can now solve this systems of equations.

  • 0.35a+0.85b=18  
  • 0.35a+0.85b=18 \\a+b=40
  • 0.35a+0.85b=18 \\-0.35a - 0.35b=-14  
  • 0.5b=4
  • b=8

Now that we know Solution B needs 8 ounces of mixture, we can substitute it into an equation to solve for a.

  • a+b=40
  • a+8=40
  • a=40-8
  • a=32

Therefore, we need 32 ounces of Solution A and 8 ounces of Solution B.

Hope this helped!

3. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement from an urn containing 4 red balls and 3 blue balls. Find the probabili
choli [55]

Answer:

X ____ 0 ______ 1 _______ 2

P(x) __ 1/7 _____ 4/7 _____ 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of red balls = 4

Number of Blue balls = 3

Total number of balls = (4 + 3) = 7

Picking without replacement :

Number of picks = 2

1st pick is red :

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

USing combination formula :

nCr = n! / (n-r)! r!

Total possible outcome :

7C2 = 7! / 5!2! = 7*6 / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21

X = number of red

For red = 0;

P(x =0) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(x = 0)

Required outcome : [4C0 * 3C2)]

P(x = 0) = [(4C0 * 3C2)] / 21 = (1*3)/21 = 3/21 = 1/7

P(x = 1)

Required outcome : [4C1 * 3C1)]

P(x = 1) = [(4C1 * 3C1)] / 21 = (4*3)/21 = 12/21 = 4/7

P(x = 2)

Required outcome : [4C2 * 3C0)]

P(x = 2) = [(4C2 * 3C0)] / 21 = (6*1)/21 = 6/21 = 2/7

Hence ;

X ____ 0 ______ 1 _______ 2

P(x) __ 1/7 _____ 4/7 _____ 2/7

1. Chris takes 25 minutes to replace one car tyre.
vekshin1

Chris and Jim must replace a <em>total</em> quantity of 17 tyres.

<h3>What is the minimum number of tyres to be replaced?</h3>

In this problem we must use an inequality of the form f(x) ≥ a, where f(x) is the difference between the number of tyres replaced by Jim and the number of tyres replaced by Chris:

(25/20) · x - x ≥ 3

(5/20) · x ≥ 3

x ≥ 12

Then, the <em>minimum</em> number of tyres to be replaced is n = 15 + 12 = 17 tyres.
