Adam can clean a room in 3 hours. If his sister Maria helps, they can clean it in 225 hours. How long will it take Maria to do the job alone?
2 2 = 12 Together time, 2 2 , needs to be converted to fraction 555
Adan:3,Maria:x,Total: 5 Clearlystatetimesforeachandtotal,usingxforMaria 12
1+1= 5 Usingreciprocals,addtheindividualtimesgivestotal 3 x 12
1

1(12x) + 1(12x) = 5(12x) 3 x 12
4x+12=5x −4x −4x 12=x It takes Maria 12 hours
Multiply each term by LCD of 12x
Reduce each fraction
Move variables to one side, subtracting 4x Our solution for x



Answer is - 12 hours

what is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 54.3 g of ca(no3)2 to form 355 ml of the solution?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 54.3 g of Calcium nitrate  into 355 mL of water is 0.9881M

Molarity of solution is the ratio of the number of moles of the substance to the volume.

n is the number of moles of the compound

Mass of calcium nitrate = 54.3g

Molar mass of calcium nitrate = Ca(NO₃)₂ = 164.088 g/mol

Get the required molarity;

Hence the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 54.3 g of Calcium nitrate  into 355 mL of water is 0.9881M
