In the lab, Lena has two solutions that contain alcohol and is mixing them with each other. She uses 400 milliliters less of Solution A than Solution B.
Solution A is 20% alcohol and Solution B is 17% alcohol. How many milliliters of Solution B does she use, if the resulting mixture has 179 milliliters of
pure alcohol?

Answers

Answer 1

Using a system of equations, it is found that she uses 700 ml of Solution B.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For this problem, the variables are given as follows:

Variable x: Number of ml of Solution A.Variable y: Number of ml of Solution B.

She uses 400 milliliters less of Solution A than Solution B, hence:

x = y - 400.

Solution A is 20% alcohol and Solution B is 17% alcohol. The esulting mixture has 179 milliliters of pure alcohol, hence:

0.2x + 0.17y = 179.

Since x = y - 400, we have that:

0.2(y - 400) + 0.17y = 179.

0.37y = 259

y = 259/0.37

y = 700.

She uses 700 ml of Solution B.

if a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 20 ft/second it's height in feet and seconds is given by f(t) = 20t - 10t^2. find average velocity for the time period t0 = 1 to t=2

Answers

The average velocity is  -10 ft/s.

What is Average velocity?

Average velocity is just the average speed with a direction. If a trip starts and ends at the same point, the total displacement is zero, so the average velocity is zero.

For example, someone who takes 40 minutes to drive 20 miles north and then 20 miles south (to end up at the same place), has an average speed of 40 miles divided by 40 minutes, or 1 mile per minute (60 mph).

Given:

f(t) = 20t - 10t²

Now, from t=1 to t=2

f(1)= 20*1 - 10 * 1*1

f(1)= 10

and, f(2)=20*2-10*2*2

f(2)= 40-40

f(2)=0

Now,

Average velocity:

v = ( 0-10 ) / ( 2- 1 )

  = -10 ft/s

hence, the average velocity is  -10 ft/s.

According to a recent survey, 62 % of the population owns a cat. 37 Percent of cat owners are married, while 44 % of non-cat owners are married. If you randomly select a person, what is the probability that she/he is married?

Answers

Answer:

There are two possibilities that you need to take into account:

1) having a cat and being married

2) not having a cat and being married

P(having a cat) = 0.19

P(no cat) = 1 - P(having a cat) = 1 - (0.19) = 0.81

Since 9% of cat owners are married:   (0.19)(0.09) = 0.0171

Since 11% of non-cat owners are married: (0.81)(0.11) = 0.0891

Probability of randomly selected person being married = 0.0171 + 0.0891 = 0.1062

maths geometry

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a rectangle.

so, it has 2 pairs of equal and parallel sides.

all 4 angles are 90°.

both diagonals are equally long and intersect each other at their midpoint. so, all 4 half-diagonal segments are equally long.

(1)

2x + 4y = 4x - y = 36/2 = 18 cm

we can split this into 2 equations

2x + 4y = 4x - y

5y = 2x

x = 5y/2

and e.g.

4x - y = 18

now we use the first equation in the second

4(5y/2) - y = 18

20y/2 - y = 18

10y - y = 18

9y = 18

y = 2

x = 5y/2 = 5×2/2 = 5

(2)

I cannot draw here, but the shortest distance between a point and a line is always a height (a line segment from the point meeting it intersecting the line at a right angle, 90°).

(3)

e.g.

AE, AD/2 and the drawn height from E to AD create a right-angled triangle.

we know AD/2 = 15 cm

from (1) we know AE = 4x - y = 4×5 - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18 cm.

the height E to AD we get via Pythagoras

AE² = (AD/2)² + height²

height² = AE² - (AD/2)² = 18² - 15² = 324 - 225 = 99

height = sqrt(99) = sqrt(9×11) = 3×sqrt(11)

remember trigonometry ?

this height = sin(theta) × AE

sin(theta) = height / AE = 3×sqrt(11) / 18 = sqrt(11)/6 =

= 0.552770798...

theta = 33.55730976...° ≈ 34°

(4)

the diagonals of a square bisect the angles of the square, so that theta would become 90/2 = 45°.

An accounting machine operator wanted to divide a 65 minute job between two identical machines so that one machine would take one and a half times as long as the other. How much time was taken by the machine doing the longer job?

Answers

The slow machine did the job is 39 minutes as calculated with the help of a linear equation in one variable.

A linear equation in one variable is given by the combination of the variable with constants and coefficients such that a unique relationship is established between the terms.

Let us consider the faster machine takes x minutes the finish the job.

Hence the slower machine will take one and a half times .

∴ slower machine takes 1.5 x minutes.

Total time taken by the two machines = x + 1.5x = 2.5 x

But together the two machines will take 65 minutes to complete the job .

So now we form a linear equation with the variable x to solve for the value of x

∴ 2.5 x = 65

or, x = 65 ÷ 2.5

or, x = 26 minutes

Therefore the faster machine takes 26 minutes.

Hence the slower machine will take 1.5 x = 1.5 × 26 = 39 minutes.

A department store advertises a sale where the customer chooses the discount. A customer may choose a flat discount of $20 off any purchase or 20% off the total purchase price. The final purchase price of an item was $175.

a. What are the possible prices of the item before each discount?

b. Which discount represents a bigger savings in cost for the customer?

Answers

The answers will be :

A. The possible prices at flat discount of $ 20 will be $195 and at flat discount of 20% will be $218.75

B. The discount of flat 20 % gives a bigger savings in cost for the customer.

What do you mean by discount ?

The discount is the difference between the purchase price and the item's par value or simply deduction from the cost price of a good.

It is given that the final purchase price of the item is $175.

A.

Let's try to find out the possible price of item before each discount.

So , price before discount can be calculated by using formula which is :

Price before discount = Discount + Final purchase price

As in first case the flat discount is of $20 , so :

Price before discount = $20 + $ 175

Price before discount = $195

Now as per the question , there is a flat discount of 20% off the total purchase price .

So , let's assume if price before discount is P then :

[ P - ( 20P / 100) ] = 175

P - 0.2 P = 175

0.8 P = 175

or

P = $ 218.75

B.

From the above calculations which we have done , we can conclude that the discount of 20 % represents a bigger savings in cost for the customer because customer is saving an amount of $218.75 which is greater than $195.

Therefore , the answers will be :

A. The possible prices at flat discount of $ 20 will be $195 and at flat discount of 20% will be $218.75

B. The discount of flat 20 % gives a bigger savings in cost for the customer.

Answers

The situation is a function, & the independent and dependent variables are the number of miles and total fee, respectively

a. Does the situation represent a function? If so, identify the independent and dependent variables.

The given parameters are

Initial Fee = $2.80

Rate = $3.50 per mile

Let the number of miles be x and the total fee be y

So, we have

Total fee = Initial Fee + Rate * Number of miles

This gives

y = 2.8 + 3.5x

This means that the situation is a function, & the independent and dependent variables are the number of miles and total fee, respectively

b. You have enough money to travel at most 20 miles in the taxi. Find the domain and range.

Here, we have

Maximum number of miles = 20

This means that the domain is 0 <= x <= 20

Substitute 20 for x in y = 2.8 + 3.5x

y = 2.8 + 3.5 x 20

y = 72.8
