Using a system of equations, the amount of solution a and b required to make the required gallons of the solution are 29.41 and 20.59 respectively.

Let :

  • Solution with 24% acid = a
  • Solution with 41% acid = b

a + b = 50 - - - - (1)

0.24a + 0.41b = 50 × 0.31

0.24a + 0.41b = 15.5 - - - - (2)

From (1) :

a = 50 - b - - - - (3)

<em>Substituting</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>3</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>2</em><em>)</em>

0.24(50 - b) + 0.41b = 15.5

12 - 0.24b + 0.41b = 15.5

0.17b = 15.5 - 12

0.17b = 3.5

b = 20.588

From (3) :

a = 50 - 20.588

a = 29.412

Therefore, about 29.41 gallons of solution a and 20.59 gallons of solution b is required.

How will the solution of the system y &gt; 2x + and y &lt; 2x + change if the inequality sign on both inequalities is reversed t
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The System of inequality is ,

1. y > 2 x + p

2. y < 2 x + p

Suppose we assign some values to p and q and draw its graph

And, then the inequality sign on both inequalities is reversed

3. y < 2 x + p

4. y > 2 x + p

And , then draw it's graph

it has been found that, the solution set of both the inequality remains same.That is there is no point or set of points , which satisfy both the system of inequality.

The system has no solution.

Which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of water inside the fish bowl?
Lunna [17]

The volume of a sphere can be calculated as

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Where r is the radius of the sphere

We want to calculate half of the volume, then we must divide that volume by 2

V^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Now we must find the radius of our sphere, the segment AB is the diameter of the sphere, and the radius is half od the diameter, then

r=\frac{AB}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6

Let's put it into our equation

\begin{gathered} V^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)(\pi)(r)^3 \\  \\ V^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)(\pi)(6)^3 \end{gathered}

The problem says to use

\pi\approx\frac{22}{7}

Then

V^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)\left(\frac{22}{7}\right)(6)^3

Final answer:

The formula that can be used to calculate the volume of water inside the fish bowl is

V=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)\left(\frac{22}{7}\right)(6)^3
