Beaker A contains 1 liter which is 30 percent oil and the rest is vinegar, thoroughly mixed up. Beaker B contains 2 liters which

is 40 percent oil and the rest vinegar, completely mixed up. Half of the contents of B are poured into A, then completely mixed up. How much oil should now be added to A to produce a mixture which is 60 percent oil?

Answer:

1.25 liters of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume in Beaker A = 1 L

Volume of Oil in Beaker A = 1*0.3 = 0.3 L

Volume of Vinegar in Beaker A = 1*0.7 = 0.7 L

Volume in Beaker B = 2 L

Volume of Oil in Beaker B = 2*0.4 = 0.8 L

Volume of Vinegar in Beaker B = 1*0.6 = 1.2 L

If half of the contents of B are poured into A and assuming a homogeneous mixture, the new volumes of oil (Voa) and vinegar (Vva) in beaker A are:

V_{oa} = 0.3+\frac{0.8}{2} \\V_{oa} = 0.7 \\V_{va} = 0.7+\frac{1.2}{2} \\V_{va} = 1.3

The amount of oil needed to be added to beaker A in order to produce a mixture which is 60 percent oil (Vomix) is given by:

0.6*V_{total} = V_{oa} +V_{omix}\\0.6*(V_{va}+V_{oa} +V_{omix}) = V_{oa} +V_{omix}\\0.6*(1.3+0.7+V_{omix})=0.7+V_{omix}\\V_{omix}=\frac{0.5}{0.4} \\V_{omix}=1.25 \ L

1.25 liters of oil are needed.

The graph of a linear function passes through the point (2,5) and a slope of 3
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

y=3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a line is (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) where x_1=2\\y_1=5. We write  

(y-5)=3(x-2)

Convert point slope form to slope intercept form by simplifying and rearranging.

y-5=3(x-2)\\y-5=3x-6\\y=3x-1

Answer:

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

B. 1/5k - 2/3j and -1/5k +2/3j

There is a change in the signs of each term

1/5k changed to -1/5k

-2/3j changed to +2/3j

Not equivalent

C. 1/5k - 2/3j and 1/5j - 2/3k

There is a change in the variables

1/5k changed to 1/5j

-2/3j changed to -2/3k

D. 1/5k - 2/3j and 2/3j - 1/5k

The is a change in the signs of each term

1/5k changed to -1/5k

-2/3j changed to +2/3j

The only equivalent expression is

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

the cost of 5 cans of dog food is $4.35. at this price how much do 11 cans of dog food cost explain your reasoning. ASAP
mestny [16]

Answer:

Cost of 11 cans of Dog food is $9.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 5 cans of dog food = $4.35

So to find out the cost of 11 cans of dog food at the same price, we need to calculate the price of 1 can of dog food.

<u>Calculation for finding out cost of 1 can of dog food</u>

The price $4.35 which is given is the price of 5 cans

So to find the cost of 1 can, we need to divide the given price by 5

5 Cans of dog food = $4.35

1 can of dog food = 4.35 ÷ 5

1 can of dog food = $0.87


<em><u>Now to find out the price of 11 cans, we will multiply the price of 1 can with 11</u></em>

Cost of 11 cans = 11 × $0.87

                          = $9.57
