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 table shows how the time it takes a train to travel between two cities depends on its average speed.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

y=\frac{160}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows how the time it takes a train to travel between two cities depends on its average speed.

function models the time, y, in hours, that it takes the train to travel between the two cities at an average speed of x miles per hour

y represents the time

and x represents the average speed

WE know distance = speed * times

LEts find the distance using the table

distance = 32* 5= 160

40*4= 160

50*3.2 = 160

Time = distance / speed

times is y , distance is 160  and speed is x

y=\frac{160}{x}

The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 8: 15: 17, and its perimeter is 480 in.. Find the measure of the shortes
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the measure of sides of a triangle are 8:15:17

The perimeter is 480

8x + 15x + 17x= 480

40x= 480

x = 480/40

x = 12

Therefore the measure of the shortest side of the triangle can be calculated as follows

8x

8×12

= 96

Solve the inequality -2x is less than or equal to 3x + 1 is less than or equal to 10
KatRina [158]
-2x < = 3x + 1 < = 10

split them
-2x < = 3x + 1         3x + 1 < = 10
-2x - 3x < = 1          3x < = 10 - 1
-5x < = 1                 3x < = 9
x > = -1/5                 x < = 3

solution is : -1/5 < = x < = 3 <==
