How many pounds of water must be evaporated from 50 pounds of a 3% salt solution so that the the remaining solution will be 5 % salt

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is kinda tricky, but not nearly as bad as d = rt problems. Those are a nightmare!

We will make a table for this:

                         #lbs solution           *          % salt         =           lbs. salt

  3% solution

-  Water                                                                                                      

New solution

And we will now fill in what we know. The 3% solution part is easy. The number of pounds of that is 50 and the percent salt in 3% salt is....well, 3%. As a decimal, it is .03:

                             #lbs solution        *        %salt        =        lbs salt

  3% solution                50                 *          .03         =           1.5

-  Water                                                                                                

New solution

The last column there with a 1.5 in it is the product of 50 times .03, since that is what the formula at the top of the table tells us we have to use. Now for the water. That's easy, too, since the amount of water we are evaporating (notice the subtraction sign out front of the word "water"; that indicates we are removing water) is our unknown, and we also know that water has 0% salt in it:

                          #lbs solution         *       %salt        =        lbs. salt

   3% solution            50                  *         .03         =           1.5

-   Water                       x                  *            0          =            0        

New solution

Now all we have left is the new solution row and the equation. Finding the equation from a mixture table is as easy as it can be! Super easy!

The new solution will be 50 - x since, going down column 1, we are subtracting the water from the 3% solution, the % salt is to be 5%:

                            #lbs. solution        *       %salt        =        lbs. salt

   3% solution               50                *         .03          =           1.5

-   Water                          x                 *           0           =            0        

New solution         50 - x                  *         .05          =     2.5 - .05x

Now we're ready for our equation. I got the 2.5 - .05x from multiplying

.05(50 - x), just so you know.

if we had to subtract the water from the salt solution and set it equal to the new solution in the first column, we also have to do it in the third column:

1.5 - 0 = 2.5 - .05x and solve for x:

-1 = -.05x so

x = 20 pounds of water

The mean score of 7 boys and 16 girls is 49. If the scores of the boys are 42,85,47,29,58,54and 72, find the mean score of the girls

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\bar x_{girls} = 46.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Boys = 7\\Girls = 16[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 49[/tex]

Required

Mean of girls

The mean of the boys and girls is calculated as:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum(boys) + \sum(girls)}{boys + girls}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]49= \frac{42+85+47+29+58+54+ 72 + \sum(girls)}{7 + 16}[/tex]

[tex]49= \frac{387 + \sum(girls)}{23}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]23 * 49=387 + \sum(girls)[/tex]

[tex]1127=387 + \sum(girls)[/tex]

Subtract by 387

[tex]1127-387 = \sum(girls)[/tex]

[tex]740= \sum(girls)[/tex]

[tex]\sum(girls) = 740[/tex]

The mean of girls is:

[tex]\bar x_{girls} = \frac{\sum(girls)}{girls}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_{girls} = \frac{740}{16}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_{girls} = 46.25[/tex]

divide 180 in three parts 1/10: 1/15: 1/20​

Answers

Answer:

83,55,41

Step-by-step explanation:

1/10 : 1/15 : 1/20

180/10 : 180/15 : 180/20

18 : 12 : 9

=> 6 : 4 : 3

Sum of the ratios = 6 + 4 + 3 = 13

1st ratio: (6/13) * 180 = 83       (approximately)

2nd ratio: (4/13) * 180 = 55     (approximately)

3rd ratio: (3/13) * 180 = 41       (approximately)

∴ Three parts of 180 in the ratio 6 : 4 : 3 is 83, 55 and 41

Pepe and Leo deposit money into their savings accounts at the end of each
month. The table shows the account balances.
If their patterns of saving continue, and neither earns interest nor withdraws
any of the money, how will the balances compare after a very long time?

Answers

Pepe's balance will be greater as it is increasing exponentially while Leo's is increasing linearly

(see graph, where red is Pepe and blue is Leo)

Pepe's balance will be greater because Pepe's balance is growing exponentially option (A) is correct.

What is an exponential function?

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always positive. It denotes with exponent [tex]y = a^x[/tex]

where a is a constant and a>1

We have:

Pepe and Leo deposit money into their savings accounts at the end of each month.

From the table, we can plot a graph on a coordinate plane.

As we can see in the graph:

Because Pepe's balance is growing exponentially and Leo's is growing linearly, it will be bigger.

Thus, Pepe's balance will be greater because Pepe's balance is growing exponentially option (A) is correct.

find the radius of a circle if the circumference is 44cm. (take π=22/7)​

Answers

Answer:

The radius of the circle if the circumference is 44 cm will be 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

➝ Circumference of the circle = 44 cm

➔ Circumference = 2πr [For finding radius]

Finding the radius:-

➜ Let radius be r.

➜ 44 = 2 × 22/7 × r

➜ Multiply 2 × 22/7

➜ 44 = 44/7 × r

➜ Taking 7 to LHS.

➜ 44 × 7 = 44 × r

➜ 308 = 44 × r

➜ Taking 44 to LHS.

➜ 308/44 = r

➜ 308/44 = 7

➜ 7 = r

➜ r = 7

Part C: What does the slope and y-intercept of the plot indicate about the plant? (3 points)

Answers

Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Yes

Since

y=f(x)

f(0)=4

f(1)=7 : f(1)=f(0)+1*3

f(2)=10= 7+3 : f(2)=f(1)+3 =f(0)+2*3

f(3)=13=10+3: f(3)=f(2)+3=f(0)+3*3

...

f(9)=31=28+3=f(8)+3=f(0)+9*3

f(n)=f(0)+n*3=4+n*3

Part B: y=3x+4

Part C: slope=3 , y-intercept=4

The slope indicate the grow of the plant (how many cm does it grow in function of the height it receives)

y-intercept indicate the original height of the plant.

If we let the numbers be [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]x+9[/tex], the equation to solve this problem will be as follows:

[tex]x(x+9)=5(x+x+9)+11[/tex]

Solving the equation for [tex]x[/tex], we get:

[tex]x(x+9)=5(x+x+9)+11[/tex]

[tex]x(x+9)=5(2x+9)+11[/tex] (Combine like terms)

[tex]x^{2} +9x=10x+45+11[/tex] (Use the Distributive Property of Multiplication to multiply expressions)

[tex]x^{2} +9x=10x+56[/tex] (Combine like terms)

[tex]x^{2} -x-56=0[/tex] (Subtract [tex]10x[/tex] and [tex]56[/tex] from both sides of the equation)

[tex]x^{2} -8x+7x-56[/tex] (Split [tex]-x[/tex])

[tex]x(x-8)+7(x-8)=0[/tex] (Factor by taking a common term out)

[tex](x-8)(x+7)=0[/tex] (Factor by taking a common term out)

[tex]x-8=0[/tex] or [tex]x+7=0[/tex] (Use the Zero Product Property)

[tex]x=8[/tex] or [tex]x=-7[/tex]

Therefore, the first number could be either -7 or 8, and the second number could be -7 + 9 = 2 or 8 + 9 = 17, respectively. Hope this helps!

X
96°
x =
degrees

Answers

Answer:

x=144°

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out x, you have to find the other angle in the triangle.

Angles in triangles always add up to 180°, so you would have to add up the 2 angles you have and take it away from 180°.

48+96=144°

180-144=36°

Then, to find x, you have to do 180-36 because angles on a straight line always add up to 180°.

180-36=144°

x=144°

Hope this helps :)

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles.

So,

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by grouping the powers of ten together and the other numbers together, as you can move numbers around when multiplying:

4 x 2 x 10^1 x 10^4

4 multiplied by 2 is 8, so we can put that in:

8 x 10^1 x 10^4

Next, using the product rule, 10^1 x 10^4 would be ten to the power of the sum of the two exponents, or 10^(4 + 1), which is 10^5.

We will be left with

8 x 10^5

This is in scientific notation, so no further modification is needed.
