Answer:
the answer is 27
Step-by-step explanation:
for the show your work all you have to do is write 3x3x3=27
The new mixture has a total volume of 5 L + 9 L = 14 L.
70% of the 5 L alcohol solution is alcohol, so that it contributed 3.5 L of alcohol to the mixture. The pure water contributed no alcohol. So in the mixture, the concentration of alcohol is
3.5 L / 14 L = 0.25, or 25%
If we say there are 100 cars in a lot (It's an arbitrary number. You can use any number you want), Matthew can wash 100 cars in 14 hours or 7.14 cars an hour. Arianna can wash 100 cars in 11 hours or 9.09 cars an hour. Together, in an hour they can wash 7.14 + 9.09 or 16.23 cars. So to wash 100 cars it would take them 100/16.23 = 6.16 or about 6 hours.
You can do this with variables as well.
Matthew has a rate of x/14 while Arianna has a rate of x/11. Together their rate is x/14 + x/11= x/y
Divide both sides by x, you would get 1/14 + 1/11 = 1/y
Solve for y which would be around 6 hours.
I’m not sure what it is but have a great day:)
14x2=28
28 divided by 3 is 9.3
the answer is 9.3
