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

Answer:

144 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A prism's surface has 2 triangles & 3 rectangles.

In both the triangles , length of :

Perpendicular = 4 cm

Base = 6 cm

So , Area of both triangles = 2(\frac{1}{2} * Base * Perpendicular) = 2(\frac{1}{2}* 6 * 4) = 24 cm^2

In the 3 rectangles ,

Length = 8 cm

Width = 5 cm

So , Area of the rectangles = 3( Length * Width) = 3(8 * 5) = 120 cm^2

Hence the total surface area of the prism is = 120 + 24 =144 cm²

Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y) = 8x+y for the polygonal convex set having vertices at (0, 0), (4, 0), (3, 5), (0,
Helen [10]
F(x,y)=8x+y

This means, f is a function where we plug in pairs of numbers.
then, f calculates the first number times 8, to which it then adds the second number we plugged.

let's calculate f for the vertices:

f(0,0)=8*0+0=0+0=0

f(4, 0)=8*4+0=32+0=32

f(3, 5)=8*3+5=24+5=29

f(0, 5)=8*0+5=0+5=5

the maximum value of f is 32
the minimum value of f is 0
