A student has a 2% salt water solution and a 7% salt water solution. To best imitate salt water at a local beach, he needs 1 lit

er of a 3.5% salt water solution. He defines x as the amount of 2% solution and writes this equation:
0.2x + 0.7(x – 1) = 0.35(1)
He solves the equation and determines that x is about 1.17 liters. He interprets this as needing 1.17 liters of 2% solution to make 1 liter of 3.5% solution.

What errors did the student make? Check all that apply.

→The percent values were written incorrectly in the equation.
→The amount of 7% solution should be written as 1 – x, not x – 1.
→The equation as written is solved incorrectly. x ≠ 1.17.
→x must represent the amount of the more highly concentrated solution.
→The interpretation is incorrect. 1 liter of 2% solution is needed to make 1.17 liters of 3.5% solution.

Let

x-------> the amount of 2\% solution

y--------> the amount of 7\% solution

we know that

2\%=0.02\\7\%=0.07\\3.5\%=0.035

so

x+y=1

y=1-x -------> equation A

0.02x+0.07y=0.035 -------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

0.02x+0.07(1-x)=0.035

0.02x+0.07-0.07x=0.035

0.05x=0.035

x=0.7\ liters

find the value of y

y=1-x

y=1-0.7=0.3\ liters

therefore

The student need 0.7\ liters of 2\% solution and 0.3\ liters of 7\% solution

<u>the answer is</u>

A) The percent values were written incorrectly in the equation

B) The amount of 7% solution should be written as 1 – x, not x – 1.

Using the net below, find the surface area of the triangular prism.
Luden [163]

Answer:

Hi, there! The total surface area of that prism is 118 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three rectangles on the side are called the lateral area, and they add up to 98(I'm assuming you know how to find the area of a 2d shape), and as for the triangles on the sides, you can just use the formula which is b*h/2.

Hope this helps :)

Raquel has created a program for a robot. The robot travels 10 meters and stops. The program is designed for wheels that are 2.5
Grace [21]

Answer:

Raquel should adjust the number of rotations  to 115.81 rotations

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the circumference of the wheels that are 2.5 cm in diameter

The circumference is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

r=2.5/2=1.25\ cm

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

C=2(3.14) (1.25)

C=7.85\ cm

step 2

Find the number of rotations

Divide 10 meters by the circumference

10\ m=1,000\ cm

1,000/7.85=127.39\ rotations

step 3

For a diameter of 2.75 cm find how should she adjust the number of rotations so that the robot travels the same distance

Find the circumference of the wheels

The circumference is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

r=2.75/2=1.375\ cm

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

C=2(3.14) (1.375)

C=8.635\ cm

step 4

Find the number of rotations

Divide 10 meters by the circumference

10\ m=1,000\ cm

1,000/8.635=115.81\ rotations
