The new mixture has a total volume of 5 L + 9 L = 14 L.

70% of the 5 L alcohol solution is alcohol, so that it contributed 3.5 L of alcohol to the mixture. The pure water contributed no alcohol. So in the mixture, the concentration of alcohol is

3.5 L / 14 L = 0.25, or 25%

erica [24]

Answer:

3 cups of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Han drinks 3/4 of a cup of sugar each day when she drinks iced tea. She drinks 3 gallons, and each contains 3/4. If each contains only 3/4, we will have to multiply 3/4 by 3 gallons to find our answer to this question.

$\frac{3}{4} = 1 \text{-gallon}$

So, now we will have to multiply 3/4 by the number 3.

$\frac{3}{4}$ × $3$ = $\frac{12}{4}$

12/4 is equal to 3, so the answer is 3.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The model for the temperature of the drink can be written as

$T=72-20e^{-0.08t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cold drink in a hotter room, we can say that the rate of change of temperature of the drink is proportional to the difference of temperature between the drink and the room.

We can model that in this way

$\frac{dT}{dt}=k*(T_r-T)$
