Answer:

Pure water =74.1 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 420 mL of a 70% alcohol solution.

420 mL of solution and 70% of it should be alcohol.

So,

420 * 70/100 mL

= 420 * 0.7

= 294 mL of alcohol and the rest should be water.

On hand, you have a 85% alcohol mixture.

The alcohol can only come from the 85% mixture. So, how much of 85% alcohol do we need to get 294 mL of alcohol:

Let

y = alcohol solution needed

85% of y = 294

85/100 * y = 294

y = 294 ÷ 85/100

y = 294 × 100/85

y = 29,400/85

y = 345.88235294117

Approximately, 345.9mL

The rest of 420 mL solution has to be pure water

Pure water = 420 mL - 345.9mL

= 74.1 mL

Pure water =74.1 mL

What is the value of the expression 2 + 3^2 * (5 -1)
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to solve for the expression;

2 + 3² × (5 - 1)

We should aply BODMAS here!

So starting with the brackets;

2 + 3² × 4

Then solving the multiplication part;

3² × 4 = 9 × 4 = 36

Finally adding the integers;

2 + 36 = 38

1. 8 7/16 - (-2 4/9)
jarptica [38.1K]

8 7/16 - (-2 4/9) =

8 7/16 + 2 4/9 =

8 7/16 = 135/16 = 1215/144

2 4/9 = 22/9 = 352/144

1215/144 + 352/144 = 1567/144 =10 127/144

Y = mx + b is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line,
where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

In problems 1 and 3, your equations are written in the y= mx + b form, so you can read the slope and y-intercept directly.

1.
m = -5/2
b = -5

3.
m = -1
b = 3

5.
For problem 5, you need to solve for y to put the equation
in y = mx + b form. Then you can read m and b just like we did
for problems 1 and 3.

4x + 16y = 8

16y = -4x + 8

y = -4/16 x - 8/16

y = -1/4 x - 1/2

m = -1/4

b = -1/2

A cone has a radius of 24 cm and a volume of 1,920 cm cubed. What is the Volume of a similar cone with a radius of 18 cm?
Maurinko [17]
24 * 3/4 = 18

The radius of smaller cone is 3/4 the radius of original cone, so since these cones are similar, height must also be 3/4 times smaller.

So since radius is squared and we also multiple the height (V = 1/3 π r² h),
the volume of smaller cone would be 3³ / 4³ = 27 / 64 times smaller

So we have 1920 * (27 / 64) = 810.

Final answer: B

Charisse is buying two different types of cereals from the bulk bins at the store. Granola costs $2.29 per pound and muesli cost
valentina_108 [34]
Even though im not giving you grapahs, I can explain you the situation and I can shed you light inot this. Pay attention. Giveen the data we are going to use it like this  <span>2.29x + 3.75y <= 7.00. Remember, you can't spend more money than 7.00, so whatever you buy has to be within 7.00$ or equal 7.00$. Since you're buying in pounds, and the amount varies, you have a variable there to indicate the price of each product depending on how many pounds of it you buy. Now, what you need to do is use this equation to graph and also solving part b by substituting in that value for y. I hope this can help you</span>
