Answer:

The number of liters of the 45% acid solution = 10 liters

The number of liters of the 70% acid solution is = 40 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

How many liters each of a 45% acid solution and a 70% acid solution must be used to produce 50 liters of a 65% acid solution? (Round to two decimal places if necessary.)

Let x be the number of liters of the 45% acid solution

The number of liters of the 70% acid solution is y

x + y = 50

x = 50 - y

Also

How many liters each of a 45% acid solution and a 70% acid solution must be used to produce 50 liters of a 65% acid solution?

We have:

45% × x + 70% × y = 65% × 50

0.45x + 0.70y = 0.65 × 50

0.45x + 0.70y = 32.5

We substitute x = 50 - y in the equation

0.45(50 - y) + 0.70y = 32.5

= 22.5 - 0.45y + 0.70y = 32.5

= - 0.45y + 0.70y = 32.5 - 22.5

= 0.25y = 10

Divide both sides by 0.25

= y = 10/0.25

y = 40 liters

x = 50 - y

x = 50 - 40

x = 10 liters

Hence,

The number of liters of the 45% acid solution = 10 liters

The number of liters of the 70% acid solution is = 40 liters

9. Convert 10,000 seconds into<br> hours
arlik [135]

Answer: 2.7777 hours

Step-by-step explanation: Here, we're asked to convert 10,000 seconds into hours.

Unfortunately, we don't have a conversion factor for seconds and hours. However, we know that 60 seconds = 1 minute and 60 minutes = 1 hour.

So we can convert 10,000 seconds into hours by using both of these conversion factors. Also, it's important to understand that when we go from a smaller unit, seconds, to a larger unit, hours, we divide.

So let's first convert 10,000 seconds into minutes by dividing 10,000 by the conversion factor, 60, to get 166.6666 minutes.

Next, we convert minutes to hours by dividing 166.6666 by the conversion factor, 60, to get 2.7777 hours.

So 10,000 seconds is approximately equal to 2.7777 hours.
