With amounts measured in gallons, let
x = amount of 65% antifreeze
y = amount of 90% antifreeze
1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.
To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have
x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]
0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]
Solve the first equation for y :
y = 120 - x
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :
0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96
0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96
0.25x = 12
x = 48
Solve for y :
y = 120 - 48
y = 72
Make it a mixed number 1 1/4

Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.
The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:
Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.
Tan(40°) = X/160m
Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m
Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°
So we have:
Tan(55°) = X/160m
Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m
And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:
Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m
