Answer:

600 L of 30% proof and 400 L of 80% proof is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of 30% smell proof be x while that of 80% smell proof is y

Then;

x + y = 1000 •••••(i)

Also;

30% of x + 80% of y = 50% of 1000

0.3x + 0.8y = 500 •••••(ii)

From i, x = 1000 - y

Put this into ii

0.3(1000-y) + 0.8y = 500

300 - 0.3y + 0.8y = 500

0.5y = 500-300

0.5y = 200

y = 200/0.5

y = 400 L

But x = 1000 - y

x = 1000 - 400 = 600 L

You have decided to wallpaper your rectangular bedroom. the dimensions are 12 feet 6 inches by 10 feet 6 inches by 8 feet 0 inch
Papessa [141]
The wall area is the product of the room perimeter and the room height:
   A₁ = (2*(12.5 ft + 10.5 ft))*(8.0 ft) = 368 ft²

The window and door area together is
   A₂ = 2*((4 ft)*(3 ft)) + (7 ft)*(3 ft) = 45 ft²

The area of one roll of wallpaper is
   A₃ = (2.5 ft)*(30 ft) = 75 ft²

Then the number of rolls of wallpaper required will be
   1.1*(A₁ - A₂)/A₃ ≈ 4.74

5 rolls of wallpaper should be purchased.

_____
As a practical matter, not much of the window and door area can be saved. The rolls are 30 inches wide, but the openings are 36 inches wide. Some will likely have to be cut from two strips. The strips will have to be the full length of the wall, and the amount cut likely cannot be used elsewhere. If the window and door area cannot be salvaged, then likely ceiling(5.4) = 6 rolls will be needed (still allowing 10% for matching and waste).

How is a scientist theory developed
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Theories and laws

Both scientific laws and scientific theories are produced from the scientific method through the formation and testing of hypotheses, and can predict the behavior of the natural world. Both are typically well-supported by observations and/or experimental evidence.
