He will mix some 20% solution and some 70% solution to make 60% solution.
Let x = number of liters of 20% solution.
Let y = number of liters of 70% solution.
He wants to make 50 liters of 60% solution, so
x + y = 50 First Equation
The amount of acid in x amount of 20% solution is 20% of x, or 0.2x
The amount of acid in y amount of 70% solution is 70% of y, or 0.7y
The amount of acid in 50 liters of 60% solution is 60% of 50 liters, or 0.6 * 50 = 30
Now we add the amounts of acid.
0.2x + 0.7y = 30 Second Equation
x + y = 50
0.2x + 0.7y = 30
-0.2x - 0.2y = -10
0.2x + 0.7y = 30
------------------------
0.5y = 20
y = 40
x + y = 50
x + 40 = 50
x = 10
Answer: He needs 10 liters of 20% solution and 40 liters of 70% solution.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A
No 24 is not the best number to use for the LCD, although it will work. 12 is much better because it is smaller.
B
Factor each number into it's primes.
24 =<u> 2*2*2</u>*3
32 = <u>2*2*2</u>*2*2
The highest common factor is 2*2*2 = 8
C
9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10 The denominator remains the same. The numerators get subtracted.
6/10 = 3/5 Two goes into both numerator and denominator of the answer. Therefore you can divide both 6 an 10 by 2
Answer:
t=4
Step-by-step explanation:
5t-3=3t+5 - subtract 3t from both sides
2t-3=5 - add 3 to both sides
2t=8 - divide by 2
t=4
Seeing as there are 1582 sets of 100 people (158200 ÷ 100) multiplying 42 by 1582 should get you the answer. 1582 × 42 = 66444. 66444 people voted in that city.
