In order to construct this equation, we will use the variables:
V to represent mixture volume (40 ml)
C to represent mixture concentration (0.32)
v₁ to represent volume of first solution (40 / 4 = 10 ml)
c₁ to represent concentration of first solution (0.2)
v₂ to represent the volume of the second solution (40 * 3/4 = 30 ml)
c₂ to represent the concentration of the second solution

We know that the total amount of substance, product of the volume and concentration, in the final solution is equal to the individual amounts in the two given solutions. Thus:
VC = v₁c₁ + v₂c₂
40(0.32) = 10(0.2) + 30c

A tank currently holds 5 gallons of water. It is being filled at the rate of 1/4 gallon per minute. How long will it take for th

Verdich [7]

So we know the tank already has 5 gallons and we need 9. This means we need 4 more gallons in order to fill up the tank.

If 1/4 gallon is being filled per minute we need to find out how many 1/4 gallons makes up 4 gallons in total.

4 of the 1/4 gallons makes up 1 whole gallon. So since we need 4 whole gallons we would need 16 of the 1/4 gallons.

This means that it will take 16 minutes for the tank to hold 9 gallons of water.
