<h3>Answer:    410 mL </h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

The ratio of A to B is 5:3

Multiply both parts by x to get 5x:3x

We need 5x parts of A and 3x parts of B

Adding those parts should get us 656 mL total

A+B = total

5x+3x = 656

8x = 656

x = 656/8

x = 82

Therefore, we need 5x = 5*82 = 410 mL of compound A

Also, we need 3x = 3*82 = 246 mL of compound B

In total, we have A+B = 410+246 = 656 mL which helps confirm the answer.

-----------

Side note: The ratio  410:246 reduces to 5:3 after dividing both parts by 82.

A square has a diagonal of 44in. I want to frame the picture, how many inches of frame do I need
dimaraw [331]

The square has a 44-inch diagonal.

The pythagorean equation must be used to obtain the hand.

Diagonal (d) ^ 2 = side^2 + side ^ 2

Diagonal (d) ^ 2 = 2side (s)^2

d^2 = 2s^2

44^2 = 2s^2

1936 = 2s^2

2s^2 = 1936

s^2 = 968

s = 31.11 inches

The length of the side is around 31 inches

Perimeter = 4*s

Perimeter = 4 * 31

Perimeter = 124 inches

As a result, you will need a total of 124 inches to frame the rectangle.

Hope this helps you!!
