Answer:
27/35 is the exact answer
7/10 is an estimate
Step-by-step explanation:
4/7+2/10
Simplify the fraction
4/7+1/5
The common denominator is 35
4/7*5/5 + 1/5 *7/7
20/35 + 7/35
27/35
To estimate
4/7 is close to 1/2
2/10 is close is 1/5
1/2 + 1/5 =
5/10 + 2/10 = 7/10
Answer:
13000 milliliters
Step-by-step explanation:
1 liter = 1000 milliliters
13 liters = 13000 milliliters
That would be a variable, x being one of the most commonly used variables to represent unknown numbers.
Answer:
- 24 ounces of solution B
- 16 ounces of solution A
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest contributor of salt to the mix is the 45% solution (B), so we'll let our variable (b) represent the quantity of that. The total amount desired is 40 ounces, so the quantity of solution A is (40-b) ounces. Then the amount of salt in the mix is ...
0.45b +0.20(40-b) = 0.35(40)
Simplifying and subtracting 0.20(40), we get ...
0.25b = 0.15(40)
b = 40(.15/.25) = 24
(40-b) = 16
The scientist should use 24 ounces of Solution B and 16 ounces of Solution A.
