A chemist wants to mix a solution of 20% chlorine with a solution of 60% chlorine to make 120 liters of 30% solution of chlorine

. How many liters of each chlorine solution should she mix?
Mathematics

Mama L [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

90 and 30 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if solution of 20% is 'x' and of 60% is 'y' liters, then

2) the pure chlorine is: for solution of 20% - 0.2x, for solution of 60% - 0.6y and

3) the mix of the two solutions is 120=x+y.

4) using these items it is possible to make up the system of two equations:

\left \{ {{x+y=120} \atop {0.2x+0.6y=0.3(x+y)}} \right.

5) finally, x=90 liters of 20%; y=30 liters of 60% solution.

A survey found that 12 out of 30 people preferred bacon over sausage. According to this survey, what percent of people pefer bac
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: 40%


Step-by-step explanation:

first you symplify your fraction:

12/30 = 2/5

then divide your numerator from your denominator:

2÷5 =0.4

then you convert your decimal into a percentage:

0.4×100=40%

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (-4,17/8) and a directrix of y=15/8
Temka [501]
So hmm notice the graph below

based on where the focus point is at, and the directrix, then, the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the squared variable is the "x"

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}}) \\\\
\boxed{(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})}\\
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}

now, keep in mind, the vertex is at coordinates h,k
the vertex itself is half-way between the focus and directrix
the directrix is at y=15/8 and the focus is at y=17/8
so, half-way will then be \bf \cfrac{17}{8}-\cfrac{15}{8}=\cfrac{2}{8}\iff \cfrac{1}{4}

well, so is 1/4 between the focus point and the directrix, half of that is 1/8
so, if you move from the focus point 1/8 down, you'll get the y-coordinate for the vertex, or 1/8 up from the directrix, since the vertex is equidistant to either

what's the "p" distance? well, we just found it, is just 1/8

so, the x-coordinate is obviously -4, get the y-coordinate by 17/8 - 1/8   or 15/8 + 1/8

and plug your values (x-h)² = 4p(y-k)   and then solve for "y", that's the equation of the quadratic

Suppose you work for a large coffee distribution that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. Gazebo blend with Kona
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

12 Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of the secret blend is 90/27. When there is only 40 pounds of gazebo, your proportion looks like this:  40/X. X being pounds of Kona. When you are to simplify 90/27 you're left with 10/3. Cross multiply 10/3 and 40/X to and simply to get 10x = 120, leaving you with 12 as your final answer. Hope this explanation helps.
