Answer:

x is mL of 25% acid and y is mL of 50% acid

We set up 2 equations:

A) x + y = 250

B) .25 x + .50y = .35 * 250 which equals

B) .25x + .50y = 87.50 Multiplying A) by -.5

A) -.5x -.5y = -125 adding the equations we get

-.25x = -37.50

x = 150 mL

y = 100 mL

I’m pretty sure he could only make 1 rectangle with 5cm because it’s an odd number which means he couldn’t stack them on top of each other evenly like he could with the 6cm rectangles, so he’d only be able to line them up next to each other and that’s it (I hope that’s right; sorry if it’s not but it makes sense to me lol)
