Answer:
6 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of ounces of the 15% alcohol solution needed to be mixed with the 4 ounces of 20% alcohol solution to obtain the 17% alcohol solution.
After converting the percentages to their decimal equivalents, set up the necessary equation as follows:
0.15x+0.20(4) = (x+4)(0.17) Simplify and solve for x.
0.15x+0.8 = 0.17x+0.68 Subtract 0.15x from both sides.
0.8 = 0.02x+0.68 Now subtract 0.68 from both sides.
0.12 = 0.02x Finally, divide both sides by 0.02
x = 6
You need to mix 6 ounces of 15% alcohol solution with 4 ounces of 20% alcohol solution to obtain 10 (x+4)ounces of 17% alcohol solution.
Answer:
See explanation for end behavior below
Domain = All Real numbers
Range = All Real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a typical power function of order 3, and since its coefficient is a negative one (-2), its end behavior is:
As x becomes more and more negative (moving towards the left of the horizontal axis, the values for y will become larger and larger (reaching very positive numbers on the y scale). As x becomes larger and larger (moving towards large values on the positive side of the horizontal axis, the related y values will become more and more negative.
The Domain of the function (the x-values for which the function is defined) consists of all Real numbers.
The same is true for the Range, since the y-values spread over all the real number line.
The ratio of males to females is 1.4 : 1, so the fraction of the total that is made up of males is 1.4/(1.4 + 1) = 1.4/2.4 = 7/12.
There were (7/12)*475 ≈ 277 males at the party.
There were 475 - 277 = 198 females at the party.
20 + 8x = 32
- 20
8x = 12

x = 3/2= 1 1/2
The amount of carrots they each ate are the same because 12 is a multiple of 4. There are 3 4’s in one 12. If you multiply 1/4 times 3 you will get 3/12 because 1 x 3 = 3. And 4 x 3 = 12
