Answer:
- 6 2/3 qt 80%
- 13 1/3 qt 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.
__
We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...
0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)
0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify
x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution
(20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed
The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.
4/10 x 0.04 = (of means multiply)
0.4 x 0.04 =
0.016
Answer:
162.5mi
Step-by-step explanation:
If the scale of the map is 1in:25mi, and you measure 6.5in between two twoms, then the real distance would be 6.5in*25mi = 162.5mi.

Answers:</h3>
- ST = 23
- RU = 8
- SV = 5
- SU = 10
====================================================
Explanation:
Focus on triangles SVT and UVT.
They are congruent triangles due to the fact that SV = VU and VT = VT. From there we can use the LL (leg leg) theorem for right triangles to prove them congruent.
Since the triangles are the same, just mirrored, this means ST = UT = 23.
-----------------------
Following similar reasoning as the previous section, we can prove triangle RVU = triangle RVS.
Therefore, RS = RU = 8
-----------------------
SV = VU = 5 because RT bisects SU.
Bisect means to cut in half. The two smaller pieces are equal.
-----------------------
SU = SV + VU = 5+5 = 10
Refer to the segment addition postulate.
B would be the correct answer
