The 10 tons should have 37.9% cement.
Let the 25% mixture be x tons
Then the 68% mixture will be (10 -x) tons.
Using formula for mixtures:
Let p for percentage and w for weight in tons.
p₁w₁ + p₂w₂ = pw
25*x + 68*(10-x) = 37.9*10
25x + 680 - 68x = 379
680 - 43x = 379
680 - 379 = 43x
301 = 43x
43x = 301
x = 301/43
x = 7
Recall that x, was for the 25% mixture, 7 tons.
a) For the 68% mixture, = 10 - x = 10 -7 = 3 tons.
b) For the 25% mixture = x = 7 tons.
Answer: 7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5 divided by 2/3 cups equals 7 1/2
32 divde by 2 = 16 (50%)
32 divde by 10 = 3.2 (10%)
16 - 3.2 = 12.8 (40%)
3.2 times 4 = 12.4 (40%)
You would round the number to the nearest whole because you can't make a . of a shot. Therefore the answer would be that she made 12 shots.
Hope this helps!
the answer is 34.83 I believe
