How many grams each of a 10% salt solution and a 5% salt solution must be mixed in order to obtilain 400 grams of an 8% solution? (10% = 10/100)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

240g of 10% salt solution and 160g of 5% salt solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Simpler way:

Let X be the amount of 10% salt solution and Y be the amount of 5% salt solution.

Then X:Y = 3:2 as you need more 10% salt solution than 5% salt solution to create a 8% salt solution. The ratio 3:2 is given as 10 - 8 = 2 and 8-5 = 3.

If X:Y = 3:2 = 60:40, then 60% of the 400g of 8% salt solution must be the 10% solution and 40% of the 400g of 8% salt solution must be the 5% solution. Therefore, 240g of the 10% salt solution and 160g of the 5% salt solution is needed to create 400g of the 8% salt solution.

This is correct as the amount of salt in the solution is equal to (10% X 240g = 24g) + (5% of 160g = 8g). So the total amount (24+8) 32g should be equal to the amount of salt in the 400g of 8% salt solution.

8% of 400g = 32g which means our answer is correct.

More complex way:

A more complex way is to use algebra.

Let X be the amount of 10% salt solution and Y be the amount of 5% salt solution.

X + Y = 400g

and 10% of X + 5% of Y = 8% of 400

so 1/10 X + 1/20 Y = 32

2X + Y = 640 (multiply the previous equation by 20)

Now from the first line we know that X + Y = 400

So if we subtract (2X+Y) by (X+Y) we can get the value of X:

(2X+Y) - (X+Y) = 640 - 400

2X+Y - X - Y = 240

Therefore X = 240

And since X + Y = 400, Y = 160.

Answer 2
240g and 10% of sugar

Which of the following appears to be a scaled copy of the original image? *
YOU CAN CHOOSE MORE THAT ONE

Answers

Answer: Third Choice. B,C, and E

Concept:

A scaled copy is a copy of a figure where every length in the original figure is multiplied by the same number.

Explanation:

Choice A. [tex]\boxed{FALSE}[/tex]

The figure given as choice A seems to be much thinner than the original image. Therefore, the figure did not copy each length in scale.

Choice B. [tex]\boxed{TRUE}[/tex]

The figure given as choice B seems to be the same size as the original image but different position. However, the position is not a concern in a scaled copy image. Therefore, the figure did copy each length in scale.

Choice C. [tex]\boxed{TRUE}[/tex]

The figure given as choice C seems to be larger than the original image and different position. However, the scale of choice C seems even to the original image. Therefore, the figure did copy each length in scale.

Choice D. [tex]\boxed{FALSE}[/tex]

The figure given as choice D seems to be larger and wider than the original image. Therefore, the figure did not copy each length in scale.

Choice E. [tex]\boxed{TRUE}[/tex]

The figure given as choice E seems to be smaller than the original image and different position. However, the scale of choice C seems even to the original image. Therefore, the figure did copy each length in scale.

Therefore, the choices would be B, C, E, which would be the third choice.

Extra: A shortcut (lazy) way to do the question

As listed above, A and D are clearly not to scale since one is much thinner, one is much wider. Therefore, we can directly neglect choices that contain A and D, which would only leave us with the third choice.

Hope this helps!! :)

The distance from P to R is 21, since 5 - (-16) = 21.

1/3 of that distance is 7, so you need Q to be 7 units from P towards R.

-16 + 7 = -9

So, Q is at -9.

The figure on the left is reflected using the y-axis to form the image on the right. Use the information in the original figure to find the measure of side A, side B, angle C and angle D.

Answers

So basically the figure is just flipped over so it’s the same thing as the other side just placed in a different spot. So angle b would be 2.2. Angle a would be 3.2. Look at the other angle and do what I did for angle b and a and you would be able to figure it out.

The first answer.

Point P is at (50,-40) the distance from Q to P is 80 units which you can find by subtracting the x of Q (-30) from the x of P (50).
50-(-30)=80
It then tells you point R is vertically above point Q so you know your x value for R will be the same as Q.
Add your distance from Q to P of 80 units to the y value of Q because you are traveling up.
-40+80=40
R will have a point of (-30,40) and a distance of 80 units

What is the step by step explanation on how to solve 8 1/2 + 3 4/5? I already know the answer is 12.3 but I just need help on the how to do the work.

Answers

To do this, first add the whole numbers: 8 + 3 = 11. Set that aside for a moment.

To add the fractions, 1/2 + 4/5, you need a common denominator. With 2 and 5, you’d have an LCD of 10.

1/2 = 5/10

4/5 = 8/10

So 1/2 + 4/5 = 5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10

Now, 13 is bigger than 10, so 13/10 is the same as 1 and 3/10.

We’ll add that to the 11 we found back in the beginning and get 11 + 1 and 3/10 = 12 and 3/10 or 12.3.

find three consecutive integers for which 3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342? show step by step

Answers

Answer:

-58, -57, -56

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first integer is x,

the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)

and the third must be x + 2

Therefore:

3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:

3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342

Combine like terms in parentheses

3 * (2x + 2) = -342

Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:

6x + 6 = -342

Subtract 6 on both sides

6x = -348

Divide by 6 on both sides

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

-58, -57, -56

Check:

3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342

which number produces an irrational number when added to 1/4

Answers

π is an irrational number when it is added to 0.4 we will get an irrational number

Answer:

A. 0.545454 - 1/4 = 0.295454  yes this is an irrational number

C. 3.4641016 - 1/4 = 3.2141016  yes this is an irrational number

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 0.545454 - 1/4 = 0.295454  is an irrational number as the closest fraction is shown below at 3 decimal points only

As this can be converted to a fraction 147727 /500000  ≈ 0.295

B. - 4/9 - 1/4 = -0.694444444 is not an irrational number so answer is no

As this can be converted to a fraction  -173611111 / 250000000

To write 0.694444444 as a fraction you have to write 0.694444444 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.

0.694444444 = 0.694444444/1 = 6.94444444/10 = 69.4444444/100 = 694.444444/1000 = 6944.44444/10000 = 69444.4444/100000 = 694444.444/1000000 = 6944444.44/10000000 = 69444444.4/100000000 = 694444444/1000000000. Then divide by 470 and we know to use this some as 250000000/531915 = 470

C. 3.4641016 - 1/4 = 3.2141016  yes this is an irrational number

closest fraction is only   4 significant figures

4017627 /  1250000

=3 and 267627 over 12500003

267627  /1250000

≈3.214  so in closer proof it is an irrational number.

D. sq rt 4 - 1/4 = 1.75 is not an irrational number as this fraction is 7/4 = 1 3/4
