Evgesh-ka [11]

It is given here that there is 1/3 probability of professional baseball player will get a hit. Hence if at least three hits are gained out of 5 attempts, the calculation goes: 5C3* (1/3)^3*(2/3)^2 + 5C4* (1/3)^4*(2/3)^1 +5C5 *<span>(1/3)^5*(2/3)^0 equal to 0.21. </span>

How much pure acid should be mixed with 6 gallons of a 20% acid solution in order to get a 90% acid solution?

beks73 [17]

So, how much acid is there in 6 gallons? well is 20% acid or (20/100), so the amount of acid in it just (20/100) * 6 or 1.2, the rest is say water.

now, if we want a 90% solution, and say we add "y" gallons, how much acid is in it? well (90/100) * y, or 0.9y.

now let's add "x" gallons of pure acid, now, pure acid is just pure acid, so is 100% acid, how much acid is there in it? (100/100) * x, or 1x or just x.

we know whatever "x" and "y" amounts are, they -> x + 6 = y

and we also know that x + 1.2 = 0.9y

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{gallons}{acid}&\stackrel{acid~\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{acid~gallons}{quantity}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{pure acid}&x&1.00&x\\
\textit{20\% sol'n}&6&0.20&1.2\\
------&------&------&------\\\
mixture&y&0.90&0.9y
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+6=\boxed{y}\\
x+1.2=0.9y\\
----------\\
x+1.2=0.9\left( \boxed{x+6} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
x+1.2=0.9x+5.4\implies x-0.9x=5.4-1.2\implies 0.1x=4.2
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{4.2}{0.1}\implies x=\stackrel{gallons}{42}$
