Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 12 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y, when x = 12, as follows:

y = 175 - 15x

y = 175 - 15 * 12

y = 175 - 180

y = - 5

This result means that after 12 minutes the fish tank would be completely drained and if it's needed 5 additional gallons of water could also be drained. It's not necessary to continue making more calculation with the the other options given because this is the right answer.

<u>The correct answer is A. 12 minutes.</u>

How many ounces of a 35% alcohol solution must be mixed with 10ounces of 40% alcohol solution to make a 37% alcohol solution?
spayn [35]
First off, let's change the format of the percentage to decimal.. so 35% is just 35/100 or 0.35 and 40% is 40/100 or 0.4 and so on.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&amount&concentration&&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;concentrated\\&#10;amount&#10;\end{array}\\&#10;&-----&-------&-------\\&#10;\textit{35\% sol'n}&x&0.35&0.35x\\&#10;\textit{40\% sol'n}&10&0.40&4.00\\&#10;-----&-----&-------&-------\\&#10;mixture&y&0.37&0.37y&#10;\end{array}

now, whatever "x" amount is, we know that x + 10 must add up to "y". x + 10 =  y, because both quantities added will give the mixture amount.

and whatever 0.35x + 4 = 0.37y, because both concentrated amounts must give the 37% of the mixture.

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;x+10=\boxed{y}\\&#10;0.35x+4=0.37y\\&#10;----------\\&#10;0.35x+4=0.37\left( \boxed{x+10} \right)&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "x", to see how much of the 35% solution will be needed.

what about "y"? well, x + 10 = y.

A number cube with faces labeled from 1 to 6 will be rolled once.
tresset_1 [31]

Question:

A number cube with faces labeled from 1 to 6 will be rolled once.  The number rolled will be recorded as the outcome.

Give the sample space describing all possible outcomes.  Then give all of the outcomes for the event of rolling a number greater than 2.

If there is more than one element in the set, separate them with commas.

Answer:

S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}

Greater2 = \{3,4,5,6\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A roll of a 6 sided number cube

Solving (a): The sample space

This implies that we list out all number on the number cube.

So:

S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}

Solving (b): Outcomes greater than 2

This implies that we list out all number on the number cube greater than 2 i.e. 3 to 6.

So:

Greater2 = \{3,4,5,6\}
