Kamila [148]3 years ago

Should've put this in mathematics, you know? But don't worry, mistakes happen!

Though, in order to do this problem, we need to add 20 for the total gallon.

Let's use X for a placeholder to determine the amount, as the gallon of 25% alcohol and percentages can be in decimal forms. It'd be 0.25x gallons worth of alcohol afterwards. We then add 20-x gallons to 5% of alcohol, which is 0.05(20-x).

This would then allow us to find the sum of 20 gallons to 20% of alcohol, containing at least 0.2(20) gallons of the alcohol.

We'd then be able to develop this equation;

0.25x + 0.05(20-x) = 0.2(20).

And then so on the sequence continues...


0.25x + 1 - 0.05x = 4

0.2x = 3

x = 3/0.2

We'd then be able to come to a conclusion that;

1. X equals 15 gallons of 25% alcohol

2. 20-x equals 5 gallons of 5% alcohol.

most countries in europe follow Christianity and speak a languade derived from indo-europen. this area can be considered a ____?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Europe can be considered as a cultural region.

Explanation:

Europe is part of the Eurasian continent. It has been defined as a separate continent not as all others, but on the basis of culture, religion, and race. While this may come as strange, it is not actually, as almost all ethnic groups are descended from the Aryans, speak Indo-European languages, and follow the same religion (Christianity).

These traits put Europe on the map as a cultural region. Not to be confused though, as these are all general traits, which is in contrast with the high amount of different cultures, languages, and religious fractions throughout Europe. While the continent as a whole can be defined as a cultural region, it has to be mentioned that there are also smaller ethnic groups like the Magyars, Szekely, Finns, Basques, Tartars, etc. that come from different cultural, ethnic, and in some cases religious backgrounds.
