10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of 10 % saline solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of liters of 60% saline solution
Now we require 10 L of 30% saline solution.
Liter soln % liters saline %
30 % 10 0.3
60 % x 0.6
10 % 10-x 0.1
Now forming the algebraic equation,
0.6x + 0.1 (10-x) = 10 (0.3)
0.6x + 1 - 0.1 x = 3
0.5 x = 2
x = 4 ( 4 l of 60 % solution is required. So 10 % saline solution required is 10 - 4 = 6 L).
Hence, 10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of 10 % saline solution.
Answer:
jan is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
if you are driving 40 miles per hour
1 hour = 40 miles
60-40 = 20 miles left
20/40 = 0.5
1+0.5 = 1.5 total hours
