Answer:

< "less than sign"

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 is 0.125 in decimal form.

1/2 is 0.5 in decimal form.

Therefore, 1/2 is greater than 1/8 so you would use the less than symbol (<) for a final answer of 1/8<1/3.

< is correct (less than) because 1/2 is greater then 1/8

Harrison has 30 cds in his music collection. If 40% of the cds are country and 30% are pop, how many are other types of music

Pavel [41]

Well you have to find out how many cd is 40% and 30%
30% = 30x.3=9
40% = 30x.4=16
now add 16 and 9
16+9=25 now subtract 25 from 30 and see that you have 5 cd of a different type of music to find that as a % divide 5 by 35 to get .14 I rounded it to the nearest hundreth now move the decimal over 2 spots to get 14%

The nurse needs to mix 2% solution with 10% solution to get 10 ml of the prescribed 6% solution. What amount of each solution do

xenn [34]

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

<em>Elimination Method</em>
<em>Substitution Method</em>
<em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = x</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = y</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Total Volume = 10 ml</em>

$\boxed{x + y = 10}$ → <em>Equation 1</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>The nurse needs to mix 2% solution with 10% solution to get 10 ml of the prescribed 6% solution</em>.

$2 \% x + 10 \% y = 6 \% (10)$

$2x + 10y = 6(10)$

$\boxed{x + 5y = 30}$ → <em>Equation 2</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Equation 1 - Equation 2:</em>

$( x + y ) - ( x + 5y ) = 10 - 30$

$-4y = -20$

$y = -20 \div -4$

$y = 5 \texttt{ ml}$

$\texttt{ }$

$x + y = 10$

$x + 5 = 10$

$x = 5 \texttt{ ml}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

$\texttt{ }$
