Answer: 1) You forgot to change the sign over there. You have to subtract over there.
2) Just be careful while solving equations while changing the signs
If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500
litres, and it contains
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375
litres of alcohol.
Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>
<em />
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375
0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375
75 = 0.25<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 300
Solve for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - 300
<em>y</em> = 200
So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.
Answer:
37.2 = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
After divideing 1265 by 34, you will get 37.2. As you cannot have books not in bookshelves, you will have to round up and have 38 bookshelves.
37/50 as a decimal is: <span>0.74
</span><span>To get 37/50 converted to decimal, you simply divide 37 by 50.
