Answer:

  • 100 mL of 75% solution
  • 150 mL of pure alcohol

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity (in mL) of pure alcohol needed for the mix. Then the amount of 75% needed is (250-x). The amount of alcohol in the mixture is ...

  1.00x +0.75(250 -x) = 0.90(250)

  0.25x +187.5 = 225 . . simplify

  0.25x = 37.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 187.5

  x = 150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.25

  (250 -x) = 100 . . . . mL of 75% solution

You need 100 mL of the 75% solution and 150 mL of pure alcohol to obtain the desired mixture.

If an answer for this question is not a whole number, enter it as a decimal.
Naily [24]

Answer:  The answer would be A.  Or if that is what you are asking.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply decimals, you multiply like how you would for any other set of numbers. (It doesn't matter if you line the decimal points up or not.)

The only difference between multiplying normal numbers and decimals is the decimal point. How many digits there are to the right of the decimal point is how many times you move the decimal point for the new number to the left.

In the decimals 5.15 and 0.3, there are three digits to the right of the decimal in all, so, when you work this problem and come out with 1545, you move the decimal point to the left three times.

1^545

So the decimal point goes right between the 1 and the 5.

Hope I made it clear enough

The slope of every horizontal line is 0 because that is based on the formula. If it's horizontal on the x axis for example, the point slope will be 0,0, also the horizontal line is the numerator, i think. And the undefined slope is vertical because it's the denominator.
