Answer:
New length is 3 3/20 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total board is 2 5/8 feet long. And since 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, that means each piece of wood is 5/6 feet.
We can now set up an equation like this ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8
Now we're going to simplify ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8
5/6 ⋅ x = 21/8
(multiply both sides by 6)
5x = 63/4
(divide both sides by 5)
x = 63/20
x= 3.15
So, the new length is 3.15 feet long, or 3 3/20 in mixed fraction.
3x-1=77 (due to exterior alternate angle)
Or, 3x=77-1
or, 3x=76
or, x=76/3
or, x=25.3

Write a rational equation that relates the desired percentage p, to the amount A of a 30% solution that needs to be added to 1 liter of 10% acid solution to make a blend that is p% acid, where 0<p<100 . What is a reasonable restriction on the set of possible values of ? Explain your answer.
Answer:
100(0.1 + 0.3A)= (1 + A) P
Step-by-step explanation:
A of a 30% solution that needs to be added to 1 liter of 10% acid solution to make a blend that is p% acid,
Hence,
10% of 1 + 30% of A = p%(1 + A)
0.10 + 0.3A = (p/100)(1 + A)
Divide both sides by 1 + A
0.1 + 0.3A/ 1 + A = p/100
Cross Multiply
100(0.1 + 0.3A) = 1 + A(p)
From the above calculation, we can see that, the blend that would be formed is not lower than 10% or greater than 30%
10% < p< 30%
