. A 1000-gallon tank initially contains a mixture of 450 gallons of cola and 50 gallons of cherry syrup. Cola is added at the ra

te of 8 gallons per minute, and cherry syrup is added at the rate of 2 gallons per minute. At the same time, a well mixed solution of cherry cola is withdrawn at the rate of 5 gallons per minute. What percentage of the mixture is cherry syrup when the tank is full

The tank is filled up at a total rate of 10 gal/min, and currently contains 500 gal of solution. It can hold up to 1000 gal, so it will take time <em>t</em> to fill it up completely:

500 gal = (10 gal/min) <em>t</em>

<em>t</em> = (500 gal) / (10 gal/min)

<em>t</em> = 50 min

In that time,

(8 gal/min) (50 min) = 400 gal of cola

and

(2 gal/min) (50 min) = 100 gal of cherry syrup

are added to the tank, so that when it's full, the tank contains 850 gal of cola and 150 gal of syrup.

So 150 gal of the total 1000 gal of solution is cherry syrup, or (150 gal)/(1000 gal) = 15/100 = 15% of the mixture.

Hello!  :))

So all you have to do is <em>add</em> the <em>numerator</em> to get a total of 4/5. 


Hope this helps!!

Explain pls and thanks

Starting more simply, if we wanted to know how many students like pink in general, that's 68/100. We could do that for each single category and the fractions would add together to equal 1. Now say we wanted to know something about that 68/100 people. That 68 is our new 100%, or another way of looking at it is if we take however many people like pink and don't like black and those that do like black, they will equal 68/68.

The number of people that like pink but don't like black is 41/68 and those that like pink and black are 27/68. 27+41=68 For the question of your problem it is asking about those that do not like pink which you can tell from the table or use from my saying 68/100 like pink is 32. Now you can split that into those that do or don't like black, and the two results will equal 32/32.

C, because of 1/2 = 2/4. 2/4 plus 1/4 equals 3/4.

Can two box plots have the same range and iqr
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Yes they can!  Just because two plots have the same IQR and range, does not mean that the rest of the data has to be the exact same.  For example, the median.

Using a table of values, determine the solution to the equation below to the nearest fourth of a unit. 2^x=1-3^x
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

2^x=1-3^x

To determine the solution of the equation we will substitute the values of 'x' given in the options,

Option (1)

For x = -0.75

2^{-0.75}=1-3^{-0.75}

0.59 = 1 - 0.44

0.59 = 0.56

Since, values on both the sides are approximately same.

Therefore, x = -0.75 will be the answer.

Option (2)

For x = -1.25

2^{-1.25}=1-3^{-1.25}

0.42 = 1 - 0.25

0.42 = 0.75

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = -1.25 is not the answer.

Option (3)

For x = 0.75

2^{0.75}=1-3^{0.75}

1.68 = 1 - 2.28

1.68 = -1.28

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = 0.75 is not the answer.

Option (4)

For x = 1.25

2^{1.25}=1-3^{1.25}

2.38 = 1 - 3.95

2.38 = -2.95

It's not true.

Therefore, x = 1.25 is not the answer.
