Answer:
5.714 liters of the 5% solution and 4.286 of the 40%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the volume of 40% solution and y = volume of the 5% solution.
x + y = 10
0.40x + 0.05y = 0.20(x + y)
From the first equation x = 10 -y so we have:
0.40(10 - y) + 0.05y = 0.20( 10 - y + y)
4 - 0.40y + 0.05y = 2
-0.35y = -2
y = 5.714 liters of the 5%.
and x = 10 - 5.714 = 4.286 liters of the 40% solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
The classes could each have proportions of 5 boys to 6 girls, but they don’t necessarily have to be exactly 5 to 6. The number could 5 to 6 for one class, but it could also be 10 to 12 for another class, since 10 to 12 is a scale factor of 5 to 6.
