I think it's 1/4 because -4/1
Answer:
The volume of the solution with 20% acid is 27 gallons and the one with 10% acid is 18 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Myra needs to mix "x" gallons of the solution with 20% and "y" gallons of the solution with 10%. The volume of the final solution must be 45 gallons, therefore:
x + y = 45
The concentration of acid of the final solution is:
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 45*0.16
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
Therefore we have a system of equation:
x + y = 45
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
We need to multiply the first equation by -0.1:
-0.1*x -0.1*y = -4.5
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
We now sum both equation:
0.1*x = 2.7
x = 2.7/0.1 = 27 gallons
y = 45 - 27 = 18 gallons
First you have make the 2 and a half into 5/2. Then you have to find a common denominator of the two fractions, which would be 8. So the 7/8 you dont need to do anything to but the 5/2 you do... so multiply both the top and the bottom by 4 so you can get 8 on the bottom. that would be 20/8. now you can add them. so 7/8 + 20/8 = 27/8

Answer down below!
Step-by-step explanation:
The simple way to do this is shown below:
Since two tires cost $74, you know that if you multiply that by two, you'll get your four.
74 x 2 = 148
<em>Four tires will cost you $148</em>
