I don’t know if this correct i haven’t done it in two years but i think the answer is 76 but i’m not 100% sure
Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.
8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.
The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means
(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60
Solve for <em>q</em> :
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>
0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6
<em>q</em> = 4
Answer:
When we simplify the problem we get 33/8
Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Rick jogged the same distance on tuesday and friday
Let "x" be the distance jooged on each tuesday and friday
He also jogged for 8 miles on sunday
Total of 20 miles for the week
Therefore, we frame a equation as,
total distance jogged = miles jogged on tuesday + miles jogged on friday + miles jogged on sunday
20 = x + x + 8
20 = 2x + 8
2x = 20 - 8
2x = 12
x = 6
Thus Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
Answer:
40 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
(10/25 ) x 100 = (2/5) x100 = (0.4) x 100 = 40% of the roses was given away.
