Answer:

60 liters of 20% solution & 20 liters of 60% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

80*0.3=.2x+0.6(80-x)

24=0.2x+48-0.6x

-24=0.2x-0.6x

-24=0.4x

24=0.4x

60=x

Hope this helps!! This is step by step btw!

adam put $100 in a savings account after 10 years he had $1649 in the account what rate of interest did he earn? use the formula
Nady [450]
Using the formula
ending amount is 1649=a
p=initial amount=100
t=10
r=r

so
1649=100e^{10r}
divide both sides by 100
16.49=e^{10r}
take ln of both sides
ln(16.49)=10r
divide both sides by 10
(ln(16.49))/10=r
use calculator
0.28027=r
about 28% interest

IrinaK [193]

Dale drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. when dale drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. if his average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does dale live from the mountains? do not do any rounding.

Answer:

Dale live 315 miles from the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the speed  of Dale to the mountains

Time taken by Dale to the mountains=7 hrs

Therefore distance covered by dale to the mountain = speed × time = 7y ......eqn 1

Time taken by Dale back home = 5hours

Since it speed increased by 18 miles per hour back home it speed = y+18

So distance traveled home =speed × time = (y+18)5 ...... eqn 2

Since distance cover is same in both the eqn 1 and eqn 2.

Eqn 1 = eqn 2

7y = (y+18)5

7y = 5y + 90

7y - 5y = 90 (collection like terms)

2y = 90

Y = 45

Substitute for y in eqn 1 to get distance away from mountain

= 7y eqn 1

= 7×45

= 315 miles.

∴ Dale leave 315 miles from the mountains

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

233.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the slant height.

5²+14²=c²

25+196=c²

221=c²

c=14.866

Now we can find the lateral area.

\pirl

\pi(5)(14.866)

=233.51566

To the nearest tenth=
