Answer: 60 gallons of the 20% solution and 120 gallons of the 50% solution should be mixed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of gallons of 20% solution that should be mixed.
Let y represent the number of gallons of 50% solution that should be mixed.
A 20% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 50% solution of fertilizer in order to get 180 gallons of a 40% solution. This means that
0.2x + 0.5y = 0.4×180
0.2x + 0.5y = 72- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Since the total number of gallons is 180, it means that
x + y = 180
Substituting x = 180 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.2(180 - y) + 0.5y = 72
36 - 0.2y + 0.5y = 72
- 0.2y + 0.5y = 72 - 36
0.3y = 36
y = 36/0.3
y = 120
x = 180 - y = 180 - 120
x = 60
Answer:
2/6, 3/9, 4/12 ...
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find equivalent fractions to 1/3 by multiplying the numerator, or top number, and the denominator, or bottom number, by the same factor.
The answer to this question is actually just simple arithmetic. At the end of the first round, Katie and Jenny will have 100 points each. In the second round, Katie and Jenny will have 200 points and 300 points respectively. At the third round, Katie and Jenny will both have 400 points. At the fourth round, Katie and Jenny will have 800 and 600 points respectively. So the turn at which Katie will have more points than Jenny is the fourth round since Katie has 800 and Jenny has 600.
First you distribute the -12 to the (x+5) getting 144=-12x-60.
Next you add 60 to each side getting 204=-12x
Then you divide each side by -12 getting -17=x, which is the answer.<span />
5 % of the students choose other. 95% choose either Saturday or Sunday.
Let x be the number of students who participated.
(5/100) * x = 8 Multiply both sides by 100
5 * x = 8*100
5*x = 800 Divide by 5
x = 800/5
x = 160 students participated in the survey <<<<< Answer
