Answer:

width=20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

h=3 cm

w=5 cm

proportional rectangle:

height=12

Here height has become 12 by multiplying 3 by 4.Therefore to find the width do the same thing.

width=5*4

=20 cm

The ratio will be same

Let width be x

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{12}{x}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x=5(12)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x=60$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{60}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=20cm$

Rajan needs 1 liter of 15% hydrochloric acid solution for an experiment. He checks his storage cabinet, but he only has a 5-lite

Delvig [45]

Answer:

0.75 liters of 5% hydrochloric acid solution
0.25 liters of 45% hydrochloric acid solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that, x liters of the 5% hydrochloric acid and y liters of the 45% hydrochloric acid solutions are combined.

As Rajan need total of 1 liter of solution, so

$x+y=1$

i.e $x=1-y$ --------------------1

As Rajan needs 5% hydrochloric acid and 45% hydrochloric acid to make a 1 liter batch of 15% hydrochloric acid, hence acid content of the mixture of two acids will be same as of the final one, so

$0.05x+0.45y=1\times 0.15$

i.e $5x+45y=15$ -------------2

Putting value of x from equation 1 in equation 2,

$\Rightarrow 5(1-y)+45y=15$

$\Rightarrow 5-5y+45y=15$

$\Rightarrow 5+40y=15$

$\Rightarrow 40y=15-5=10$

$\Rightarrow y=0.25$

Putting the value of y in equation 1,

$x=1-0.25=0.75$

Therefore, Rajan must use 0.75 liters of 5% hydrochloric acid solution and 0.25 liters of 45% hydrochloric acid solution.

None, because you need to make over 15,000 a year to be taxed. And with all that money for one year would not be taxed.
