Answer:

White = 1.67 gallons

Blue = 0.33 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

White : blue = 3 : 1

Total ratio = 3 + 1

= 4

Gallons = 2

White = 3 /4 × 2

= 6 /4

= 3/2 gallons

Blue = 1 / 4 × 2

= 2/4

= 1/2

If he later decide to dilute the color to a ratio of 5:1

Total ratio = 5 + 1

= 6

Total gallons = 2

White = 5 / 6 × 2

= 10/6

= 5/3 gallons

Or

= 1.67 gallons

Blue = 1 / 6 × 2

= 2 / 6

= 1/3 gallons

Or

= 0.33 gallons

the measurement of one angle of a right angle is 42 degrees what is the measurement of the third angle
kogti [31]
The angles of a triangle all add up to 180°. In fact, it can be generalized that the sum of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is equal to 180°(n–2). 

A right triangle must have a right angle, which is equal to 90°. If the other angle is 42°, that means that we can find the third angle by subtracting 90° + 42° from 180°.

x = 180° – (90° + 42°) = 48°

Homework help, no need to explain answer
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Square each side

Subtract 1  from each side

Divide by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(3x+1) = 4

Square each side

(sqrt(3x+1))^2 = 4^2

3x+1 = 16

Subtract 1  from each side

3x+1-1 = 16-1

3x= 15

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5
