Answer:

  1.1 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount to be added, in quarts. Then the amount of anti-freeze in the resulting solution is ...

  0.20(8) + 1.00(x) = 0.30(8 +x)

  0.70x = 0.10(8) . . . . . . subtract 0.20(8)+0.30(x)

  x = 8/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

  x ≈ 1.142857 ≈ 1.1

About 1.1 quarts of pure antifreeze must be added.

1/3 cup of flour makes 5 dinner rolls. How many cups of flour for 1 roll? and how much flower for 36 rolls?
shtirl [24]
For one roll, you need to take that 1/3 cup and split it into 5 parts. To do this, divide by 5, which means the fraction becomes 1/15, giving you 1/15 cup flower for one roll.

36 rolls is just 36 times the one roll, which is 36/15 cups. You can divide both parts by 3 to make that 12/5 cups for 36 rolls.

AveGali [126]

Answer:This problem is about linear equations. We assume Dale drive X miles, and the total cost is $Y, then we can get:

Plan I: Y=38+0.11X

Plan II: Y=49+0.07X

When both plans cost the same, 38+0.11X=49+0.07X. We will get X = 275miles, and Y=$68.25
