Answer:
37.5 acres.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of his land where vegetables are grown
= 1 - 1/3 - 2/3 *3/5
(after taking away 1/3 we get 2/3 and the farmer uses 3/5 of this 2/3 to grow Maize.
= 1 - 1/3 - 6/15 LCD of 3 and 15= 15 so we write:
= 1 - 5/15 - 6/15
= 1 - (5+6)/16
= 1 - 11/15
= 4/15.
4 /15 is equivalent to 10 acres
so total area (= 1) = 10 / 4/15 Invert the 4/15 and multiply:
= 10 * 15/4
= 150/4
= 37.5 acres.
Answer: 220.5 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
You separate it into shapes and sum the area of those. I made a triangle 15 by 15, a rectangle 4 by 15, a smaller rectangle 4 by 10, and a triangle 4 by 4
A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?
.
Let x = liters of 40% iodine
then
4-x = liters of 80% iodine
Using algebra:
.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)
.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2
3.20-.40x = 2
x = 4 liters (40% iodine)
80% iodine:
4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)
