A scientist needs 10 liters of a 20% acid solution for an experiment, but she has only a 5% solution and a 40% solution. To the nearest tenth of a liter, about how many liters of the 5% and the 40% solutions should she mix to get the solution she needs? Write and solve an equation to match the situation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5% solution needed = 5.7 liters

40% solution needed = 4.3 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of 5% solution is needed = x liters

And the amount of 40% solution is needed = y liters

Concentration of the final solution = 20%

5x + 40y = 20(x + y)

x + 8y = 4(x + y)

4y = 3x

x = [tex]\frac{4}{3}y[/tex] -------(1)

Total volume of the final solution needed = 10 liters

Therefore, x + y = 10 --------(2)

Now substitute the value of x from equation (1) to equation (2).

[tex]\frac{4}{3}y+y=10[/tex]

[tex]\frac{7}{3}y=10[/tex]

y = 4.3 liters

From equation (2),

x + 4.3 = 10

x = 5.7 liters

If you roll two six-faced dice together, you will get 36 possible outcomes. 4 pts 1. List all possible outcomes of the experiment. 2 pts 2. What is the probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes? 2 pts 3. What is the probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4? 2 pts 4. What is the probability of getting a sum of 13 or more?

Answers

Given:

Two dice are rolled together.

Total number of possible outcomes.

To find:

The list of total possible outcomes.

The probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes.

The probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4.

The probability of getting a sum of 13 or more.

Solution:

If two dice are rolled together, then the total number of possible outcomes is 36 and list of total possible outcomes is

S = {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}

Sum of 11 in these outcomes = {(5,6),(6,5),(6,6)} = 3

The probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes is

[tex]P(\text{sum=11})=\dfrac{3}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P(\text{sum=11})=\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes is [tex]\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex].

Sum less than or equal to 4 = {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(3,1)} = 6

The probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4 is

[tex]P({sum\leq 4})=\dfrac{6}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P({sum\leq 4})=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4 is [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex].

Sum of 13 or more = empty set because maximum sum is 12.

The probability of getting a sum of 13 or more is

[tex]P(sum\geq 13)=\dfrac{0}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P({sum\geq 13})=0[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 13 or more is 0.

Renting a small moving truck for a day costs $29.95 plus $0.79 per mile that the truck is driven. Ms. Knowles rented a truck for one day and paid $91.57. The equation 29.95 + 0.79d = 91.57 can be used to model this situation. Choose True or False for each statement. A) The variable d represents the number of miles Ms. Knowles drove. B) The term 0.79d represents the charge in dollars for the distance driven. C) You can isolate the term 0.79d by adding 29.95 to both sides of the equation.

Answers

Given:

Renting a small moving truck for a day costs $29.95 plus $0.79 per mile that the truck is driven. Ms. Knowles rented a truck for one day and paid $91.57.

The equation is

[tex]29.95 + 0.79d = 91.57[/tex]

To find:

Whether the statement are true or false.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]29.95 + 0.79d = 91.57[/tex]

Here,

Fixed cost = 29.95

Variable cost = 0.79d, it depends on the number of miles Ms. Knowles drove.

So, the variable d represents the number of miles Ms. Knowles drove.  Hence, statement A is true.

The term 0.79d represents the charge in dollars for the distance driven. Hence, statement B is true.

You can isolate the term 0.79d by subtracting 29.95 from both sides of the equation.

Hence, statement C is false.

Which of the choices below best describes the domain and range of this problem. Domain would be tickets sold and range would be amount of money he collected. Elijah has already sold $40 worth of tickets for a local raffle. He has 5 tickets left to sell at $5 per ticket.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of ticket sold = $40

If one ticket is $5, we need to know the amount of ticket he sold that fetched Elijah $40

$5 = 1ticket

$40 = x tickets

Cross multiply

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8tickets

If he has 5tickets left to sell at $5 per ticket, the total tickets the sold will be 8+3 = 13 tickets

The domain of the problem will be [1, 13]

For the range:

The amount of the remaining 5tickets will be (5×$5) = $25

Initial amount made = $40

Total amount he collected = $25+$40

= $65

The range if the problem will be [$5, $65]

A jar contains only nickels, dimes and quarters. There is at least one of each type of coin in the jar. If the total value of the coins in the jar equals 60 cents, how many quarters are in the jar?

Answers

Answer: There is 1 quarter in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we see that there needs to be at least one coin of each; a nickel, a dime, and a quarter.

5+10+25=40 (cents)

A quarter is worth 25 cents, and the total value is only 60, so it is impossible for the quarter value to be more than one, otherwise breaking the total value of 60 cents.

Convert y = x2 - 4x + 1 to vertex form by completing the square.

Answer:

vertex: (-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x2 + 4x                 + 1  

y = x2 + 4x + 22          + 1 - 22  

y = (x + 2)2 + 1 - 4

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 4x

y = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 + 1
