Answer: choice A. 40 liters
====================================
Explanation:
x = number of liters of the 50% alcohol solution
If we have x liters of 50% alcohol, then we have 0.50*x liters of pure alcohol. This is added to 0.90*40 = 36 liters of pure alcohol (from the 90% solution).
So far we have 0.50*x + 36. This expression represents the total amount of pure alcohol. We want a 70% solution, so we want 70% of the total 40+x meaning 0.50*x + 36 is to be set equal to 0.70*(40+x) and we solve for x as shown below
0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40+x)
0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40)+0.70*(x)
0.50*x + 36 = 28+0.70*x
36 - 28 = 0.70*x - 0.50x
8 = 0.20x
0.20x = 8
x = 8/0.20
x = 40
So that is why the answer is choice A. 40 liters
Answer:
$246.42
Step-by-step explanation:
13.69(4+4+4+4) + 27.38
13.69(16) + 27.38
219.04 + 27.38
246.42
You should make $246.42.
For this case we have that by definition, the Greatest Common Factor or GFC of two or more numbers, is the largest number that divides them without leaving residue.
So, we have to:
We look for the factors of 18 and 36:
18: 1,2,3,6,9,18
36: 1, 2,3,4, 6,9,18 ...
It is observed that the GFC of both numbers is 18.
Then, the GFC of 
and 
is:
18x
Answer:
18x

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of segment lengths is the same for the two chords.
9(21) = x(27)
x = 189/27 . . . . . divide by 27
x = 7
