Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/5
2. 2/5
The easiest way to find answers for questions like these is to convert them to improper fractions, solve, and then convert them back to mixed numbers (if the question required it). When we convert these to improper fractions, we have 7/4 and 19/8. We can then find the least common denominator of the 2 so that we can solve. The least common denominator is 8, and since we are multiplying the 4 by 2 to get it there, we must also multiply the 7 by 2. Now we have 19/8-14/8. At this point, we can use simple subtraction to subtract the numerators and get 5/8.
To summarize, Cameron used 5/8 more acid in the second experiment.
Answer:
x = -0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply
9* 0.2(6x + 1) = 3.6 * 0.5x Combine the coefficients on the right.
1.8 (6x + 1) = 1.8 x Remove the brackets on the left
1.8*6x + 1.8 = 1.8x Multiply the factors on the left. Don't do anything with the plus sign
10.8x + 1.8= 1.8x Subtract 1.8 from both sides
10.8x = 1.8x - 1.8 Subtract 1.8x from both sides
10.8x - 1.8x = -1.8
9x = - 1.8 Divide by 9
x = -1.8/9
x = - 0.2
Check
This is one question you should check. There's lot's of room for an error.
<em><u>LHS</u></em>
0.2(6x+1)/3.6
0.2(6 * -0.2 + 1) / 3.6
0.2( - 1.2 + 1) / 3.6
0.2( - 0.2) / 3.6
- 0.04 / 3.6
- 0.011111111
<em><u>RHS</u></em>
0.5 ( - 0.2)/9
-0.1/ 9
- 0.0111111 And the left and right side check.
