Answer:

Quantity of solution B required is 300 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" be quantity of solution A required

Let "b" be quantity of solution B required

We are given Solution A is 19% alcohol and Solution B is 14% alcohol and that the resulting mixture has 156 milliliters of pure alcohol

Thus;

0.19a + 0.14b = 156 - - - (eq 1)

Also, He uses twice as much Solution A as Solution B.

Thus;

a = 2b

Putting 2b for a in eq 1 gives;

0.19(2b) + 0.14b = 156

0.38b + 0.14b = 156

0.52b = 156

b = 156/0.52

b = 300 ml

Quantity of solution B required is 300 ml

Mia walked 7km/h so after 1 hour, she is 7 km north of the house of Julia

Samantha walked 11km/h so after 1 hour, she is 11 km west of the house of Julia.

The points where Mia and Samantha are after 1 hour , and the house of Julia form a right triangle with sides 7 and 11 km. The distance between the girls, is the hypotenuse of his triangle.

 by the pythagorean theorem:

MS= \sqrt{ 7^{2} + 11^{2} }= \sqrt{49+121}= \sqrt{170}=  13 (km)

Xander needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

c ≥ 56   is the REQUIRED INEQUALITY.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given  question is INCOMPLETE.

Xander needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items. Choose the inequality and solution to represent the number of cans, c, that Xander must still collect.

Now, here:

The number of cans Xander needed to collect = At least 120

The number of items already collected =  64

c: the number of cans, c, that Xander must still collect.

Now, the number of cans to be collected  - Cans already collected  

=  120 - 64  = 56

So, the number of can he must collect to make a TOTAL OF AT LEAST 120 cans  =  56 cans

⇒ The number of cans to be collected ≥ 56 cans

⇒c ≥ 56 cans

or, c ≥ 56   is the REQUIRED INEQUALITY.
