Answer:
1/4 divided by 1/2 equals 1/2
Real-world problem:
A constructor official knows that he needs 1/2 sack of cement to produce 10 blocks of concrete for a wall. The official only has 1/4 of the sack left and want to know how many blocks he can produce with this material.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you know that 1/2 of the sack is needed to make 10 blocks, you can use this information to find the number of blocks that 1/4 of a sack can make. The question you want to answer is:
if of a sack produces 10 blocks, how may blocks
of a sack can produce?
Using the Rule of Three you can solve
Now you know that 1/4 of a sack can produce 1/2 the number of blocks that 1/2 of the sack can produces, this means that you can produce 5 blocks of concrete.
0.75 liter of 0.07 % is used and 0.25 liter of 0.23 % salt is used
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
We have to 1 liter of final solution
Let "x" be the salt solution of 0.07 %
Then, (1 - x) is the salt solution of 0.23 %
Then final solution should be 1 liter of solution which contains 0.11 % salt
Thus, 0.07 % of "x" is mixed with 0.23 % of (1 - x) to make a solution 0.11 % of 1 liter
<em><u>Thus a equation is framed as:</u></em>
0.07 % of x + 0.23 % of (1 - x) = 0.11 % of 1
Thus 0.75 liter of 0.07 % is used
And,
1 - x = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
Thus 0.25 liter of 0.23 % salt is used
