Mathematics

Zarrin [17]2 years ago

The volume of the 12% salt solution to be added is; 2.5 gallons.

<h3>Ratio and Proportion of Volume</h3>

Let the volume of 12% required be x and the new volume of the mixture be (x+5).

On this note, it follows that;

  • 12x + 15(5) = 14(5+x)

  • 12x + 75 = 70 + 14x.

Hence, -2x = -5

Divide both side by -2;

  • x = -5/-2

x = 2.5 gallons.

Is1/10 and 3/33 epuivalant
sveta [45]
3/33 can be reduced to 1/11 by dividing by 3 on the top and bottom.
1/11 is not equal to 1/10. Although they have the same numerator or number on top, 1, they don't have the same number in the bottom. 
So they are not equivalent.
Hope this helps.
