Answer:
<h3> 26²/₃ liters of 15% acid and 13¹/₃ liters of 33% acid</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Concentration Amount of Amount
of Solution Solution (L) of Acid
15% x 0.15x
33% y 0.33y
21% 40 0.21•40
x + y = 40 ⇒ x = 40 - y
0.15x + 0.33y = 0.21•40
0.15(40 - y) + 0.33y = 0.21•40
6 - 0.15y + 0.33y = 8.4
0.18y = 2.4
y = 13¹/₃
x = 40 - 13¹/₃ = 26²/₃
Because none of the points on the number line are above 0, we know that the points will be negative.
This eliminates the second and third choices, as they contain positive numbers.
The first point, A, is a number less than -0.5 or -1/2
The first choice matches A with -5/16, which is less than -0.5 or -1/2
Therefore, the fourth choice must be the correct answer.
