How many quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 8 quarts of a 40% antifreeze solution to obtain a 60% antifreeze solution

Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.

8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.

The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means

(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60

Solve for <em>q</em> :

3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)

3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>

0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6

<em>q</em> = 4

A quarterback throws an incomplete pass. The height of the football at time t is modeled by the equation h(t) = –16t2 + 40t + 7.
Nostrana [21]
Indicated here when h(t) = 0, we are to find for the time where the football has reached a certain height. 


Then, the values of t would be -0.2 and 2.7.

Since we are to look for the time, it is impossible for us to have an answer that has a negative value. So based from our answer, the solution that we will eliminate is the -0.2 one. Since its value is negative.

So, the correct value would be the 2.7 sec. one.
