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

Volunteers at Sam's school use some of the student council's savings for a special project. They buy 8 backpacks for $8 each and fill each backpack with paper and pens that cost $3. By how much did the student council's savings change because of this project?

The savings was changed by
dollars.

Answers

Answer:

The savings were changed by $88

Step-by-step explanation:

1 backpack costs 8 dollars and they bought 8 of them, you have to multiply 8 dollars by 8 cause there is 8 backpacks which is 64 , pen and pencils for 1 backpack costs 3 dollars , so you have to multiply 3 by 8  cause there are 8 backpacks which is 24. then you add 64 and 24 which is 88

Savings were changed by $88

Find the number that makes the ratio equivalent to 1:5.
6:

Answers

Ratios are also fractions.

1:5 is the same as 1/5.

So, the question really is 1/5 = 6/what?

6/30 is the same as 1/5

So the missing number is 30.

Answer:

box = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

You could set this up very formally as a proportion. It would look like this.

1/5 = 6/x

Now all you have to do is cross multiiply.

1*x = 5 * 6

x = 30

So the answer that goes in the box is 30

Or you could just say to yourself. "The 1 was multiplied by 6. What do I have to multiply the 5 by to keep the ratio the same?"

The answer is 6

6 * 5 = 30

In higher math you are going to want to use the first method.

A 100-meter sprint is a race using only the straight side of a race track. A 400-meter stick is a race that makes one complete a lap around a racetrack. Why are velocity and speed the same for a 100 m sprint but not a 400 m sprint

Answers

Answer

Because velocity and speed differ each other by direction, in a 100 m sprint race the person moves in a straight path without changing its direction where as in a 400 m race. The person moves in a lap around the race track and the direction changes as he turns according to the race track.

Watson's workday is 8 hrs. and works 40 hrs. per week, Watson works for 5 days

Kerry: works 4 days and gets paid $ 12.75 per cat & grooms 15 cats per day, so Kerry makes = 4(12.75 × 15) = 4(191.25) = $ 765

Watson: works 5 days and gets paid $ 12.75 per cat & grooms 10 cats per day, so Watson makes = 5(12.75 × 10) = 5(127.50) = $ 637.50

∴ The difference between their weekly earning is 765 - 637.50 = $ 127.50

6(9 + 5x) = 54 +

Answers

Hi

to progress in math, you must : know by heart the rules and formulas then train.

rule : a ( b+c ) = a*b + a*c.

this propertie is call distributivity .

so we have : 6 ( 9+5X)

here : a = 6

b = 9

c = 5X

so 6 ( 9+5X) = ?

I let you have a shot. Ask in comments section if you are stuck. But try first !

Answer:

1) rearrange terms:

6(9 + 5x) = 54

6(5x + 9) = 54

2) Distribution :

6(5x + 9) = 54

30x + 54= 54

3) subtract 54 from both side:

30x + 54 = 54

30x + 54 - 54 = 54 - 54

4) Simplify: subtract the numbers

30x = 0

5) Divide both side of the equation by the same term:

30x = 0

30x√30 = 0√30

6) Simplify: cancel term that are in the both numerator and denominator

x = O√30

solution :

x = 0]
