Answer:
A) Container X
Step-by-step explanation:
X=2C:6S ratio, now reduce amount but keep the same ratio
X=1C:3S
Y=4C:8S ratio, now reduce amount but keep the same ratio
Y=1C:2S
Container X has the sweeter water because it's ratio of sugar to water is higher.
50 ounces of 15% saline solution contains 0.15*50 = 7.5 ounces of salt.
Let x be the amount of pure water you add to this solution. Then you end up with (x + 50) ounces of this new solution. The amount of salt stays the same.
You want the new solution to have a concentration of 10%. This means you need
7.5 / (x + 50) = 0.1
==> 7.5 = 0.1(x + 50)
==> 7.5 = 0.1x + 5
==> 2.5 = 0.1x
==> 2.5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1
==> x = 25
Answer:
(final - initial/initial ) * 100
66 - 55/55 * 100
11/55 * 100
100/5
= 20 percent
The answer would be 30 since for 180 pounds and 60 feet you would need to divide 180 by 60 to get the unit rate for the pressure and then multiply by 10 which would get you 30. Correct me if I’m wrong. Hope it helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio's can be expressed as fractions and you may compare those.
In order to compare fractions you need to bring them into equal denominator.
8 and 9 have LCM of 8*9 = 72 since they have no common factors.
<u>The equivalent fractions with common denominator are:</u>
- 5/8 = 9*5/(9*8) = 45/72
- 7/9 = 8*7/(8*9) = 56/72
<u>Now we can compare the fractions:</u>
- 45/72 < 56/72, since 45 < 56
