Answer:

25 % acid solution = 450ml

45% acid solution = 150ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 25 % acid solution

y = 45% acid solution

x + y = 600

.25x + .45y = .30(600)

x + y = 600 (1)

.25x + .45y = 180 (2)

From (1)

x = 600 - y

Substitute x = 600 - y into (2)

.25x + .45y = 180

.25(600 - y) + .45y = 180

150 - .25y + .45y = 180

150 + .20y = 180

.20y = 180 - 150

.20y = 30

Divide both sides by .20

y = 30/0.20

= 150

y = 150ml

Substitute y = 150 into

x + y = 600

x + 150 = 600

x = 600 - 150

= 450

x = 450ml

25 % acid solution = 450ml

45% acid solution = 150ml

<h3>Answer: y = 78</h3>

==================================

Justification #1: Angle x is 78 degrees as these two angles are corresponding angles (congruent due to the parallel lines). We also know that y = x because they are vertical angles. So by the transitive property, y = 78

Justification #2: The parallel lines mean that the alternate exterior angles are congruent, so y = 78 through one step (instead of multiple steps in the prior justification)

The combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 m
rewona [7]

Answer:

Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.

Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.

\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 20 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}

\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 20 miles}}\times \text{gallon}

\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=30 \text{ gallons}

\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 30 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}

\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 30 miles}}\times \text{gallon}

\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=20 \text{ gallons}

Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.

\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=30-20

\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=10

Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces 5\times 10=50 pounds of carbon.

Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.
