Sandra needs to make 500 L hand sanitizer with 75% alcoholic solution. He has only two of the alcoholic solutions available, a 6

5% solution and a 90% solution. How many litres of each alcoholic solution should he mix?

If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500

litres, and it contains

0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375

litres of alcohol.

Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>

<em />

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :

0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375

0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375

75 = 0.25<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 300

Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 500 - 300

<em>y</em> = 200

So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.

a. The slope of the line passing through the points R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is -3/4

b. The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is 5 units

c.  The midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is  (2, 4)

8.

a. The transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

b.

  • The x-coordinate is shifted 1 unit to the left and
  • The y - coordinate is shifted 1 unit downwards.

c. The image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6) is (6, 5)

<h3 /><h3>7 a. How to find the slope of the line?</h3>

The slope of a line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

So, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (2 - 5)/(-1 - 3)

m = -3/-4

m = -3/4

So, the slope of the line passing through the points R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is -3/4

<h3>b. The distance between the points</h3>

The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is d = √[(y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²]

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

d = √[(y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²]

d = √[(2 - 5)² + (-1 - 3)²]

d = √[(-3)² + (-4)²]

d = √[9 + 16]

d = √25

d = 5 units

So, the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is 5 units

<h3>7 c How to find the midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) </h3>

The midpoint of the the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is (x, y)  = [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

So, the midpoint (x, y)  = [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

(x, y)  = [(3 + (-1))/2, (5 + 3)/2]

(x, y)  = [(3 - 1)/2, (5 + 3)/2]

(x, y)  = [4/2, 8/2]

(x, y)  = (2, 4)

So, the midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is  (2, 4)

<h3>8. a The rule for the transformation of point A(1, 4) to point B(2, 3)</h3>

Given that point A(1, 4) and point B(2, 3) we see that point B(1 + 1, 4 - 1).

Let pont A be (x,y).

So, point B = (x + 1, y - 1)

So, the transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

<h3>b. Describe the transformation</h3>

Since the transformation rule is   (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1), we see that

  • the x-coordinate is shifted 1 unit to the left and
  • the y - coordinate is shifted 1 unit downwards.
<h3>c. The image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6)</h3>

Since the transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1) and point B is (5, 6), thus the image of B' is

(x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

(5,6) → (5 + 1, 6 - 1)

(5,6) → (6, 5)

So, the image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6) is (6, 5)

What is the value of the expression [-8/9]divide by [-2/3]x[-4 1/2]
Sidana [21]

Answer:

-82/3

Step-by-step explanation:

first divide -8/9 by -2/3

-8/9 ➗ -2/3 =-8/9*3/-2 =4/3

multiply 4/3 by -41/2

4/3*-41/2 = -82/3
