Answer:
wrong the answer is 63.1
Step-by-step explanation:
3 gallons of acid = 100% concentration acid
? (water+acid) gallons = 15 concentration acid
Note: Every gallon of water added reduces the percentage concentration of acid. Therefore, the relationship is inverse proportionality.
Solution:
Total number of gallons (water+acid) = (3*100)/15 = 20 gallons
Therefore, gallons of water = 20-3 = 17 gallons
Closest would be 8 43/200
a = amount (in oz) of solution A
b = amount of solution B
The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so
a + b = 110
Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So
0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5
Solve for a and b:
b = 110 - a
0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5
0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5
0.25 a = 16.5
a = 66 ==> b = 44
Answer:
37
Step-by-step explanation
Do what is in the parenthesis first
(5)+4^2x(2)
Exponents next
4^2=16
5+16x2
Multiplication next
16x2=32
You're left with the equation 5+32=37
