My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution)
in simple terms: %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x) simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13 divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.
Answer:
B. 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The positive square root of "x^2 - 4x + 4" is "x - 2". That value is already given to you, 1/3. Just square 1/3 to get 1/9.
Answer:
The right triangle has one 90 degree angle and two acute (< 90 degree) angles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees... The two sides of the triangle that are by the right angle are called the legs... and the side opposite of the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
