Answer:
The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x = 160 liters
The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y = 80 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent:
The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x
The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y
Our system of Equations =
x + y = 240 liters....... Equation 1
x = 240 - y
A 25% acid solution must be added to a 40% solution to get 240 liters of 30% acid solution.
25% × x + 40% × y = 240 liters × 30%
0.25x+ 0.4y = 72...... Equation 2
We substitute 240 - y for x in Equation 2
0.25(240 - y)+ 0.4y = 72
60 - 0.25y + 0.4y = 72
Collect like terms
- 0.25y + 0.4y = 72 - 60
0.15y = 12
y = 12/0.15
y = 80 Liters
Solving for x
x = 240 - y
x = 240 liters - 80 Liters
x = 160 liters
Therefore,
The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x = 160 liters
The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y = 80 liters
To solve this problem we can use simple proportion
If
270$ -------------------------3000 pesos
x $ ---------------------------100 pesos (x$ means that we dont know how much)
Now we crossmultiplying to get proportion
x*3000=270*100
Now we just to solve eq
3000x=27000 /:3000
x=27000:3000
x=9$ - its the result
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
0.75 feet / day [ 1 day / 24 hours] * [12 inches / 1 foot]
This process is called dimensional analysis. The trick it uses is to cancel out units (like feet or days ) where possible. In this case, 1 day is going to cancel out and leave behind 24 hours. 1 foot will cancel out and leave behind 12 inches.
It is well worth learning how to do this, because the process is done in the higher sciences.
So what you are left with is
0.75 * 12 inches / 24 hours
0.75 inches /hour * 1/2
0.375 inches / hour.
Multiply 2^(-5) by 2^6. The correct result is 2^1, or just 2 (inches).
