scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled solution a and solution b. solution a is 60% salt and solution b is 85% salt. she wants to obtain 140 ounces of mixture that is 80% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We have 60% salt and 85% salt solutions and we need 140 ounces of a solution that is 80% salt.

We set up 2 equations:

A) x + y = 140

B) .60x + .85y = .80 * 140

Multiply equation A) by -.60

A) -.60x -.60y = -84  then we add this to B)

B) .60x + .85y = 112

.25y = 28

y = 112 ounces of 85% salt

x = 28 ounces of 60% salt.

Double Check

112 * .85 = 95.2 AND 28 * .60 = 16.80

95.2 + 16.80 = 112

and 112/140 = 80 per cent!!

one we plug in our dimensions the equation would become 3 1/4 x 3 x 3 3/4

To simplify this we would first

Multiply

3 1/4 x 3 x 3 3/4 = 39/4 x 3 3/4

The bolded parts are the pieces we are working on

3 1/4 as an improper fraction is 13/4

13/4 x 3 = 13 x 3/4 = 39/4

- The second step would be to

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

3 3/4  = ( 3 × 4 ) / 4 + 3/4 = 12 + 3 / 4 = 15/4

Now we have to Multiply

39/4 x 15/4 =  39 x 15 / 4 x 4 = 585/16

Lastly, we have to simplify

The mass varies directly as the Kinetic energy (K) and inversely as the square of the velocity (V). if the kinetic energy is 80 Joules and the velocity is 4 meters per second, then the mass is 10 kilograms. Express the mass as a function of kinetic energy and velocity.

Answers

Answer:

m = [tex]\frac{2K}{v^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given mass (m ) varies directly as K and inversely as v² then the equation relating them is

m = [tex]\frac{kK}{v^2}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition m = 10 when K = 80 and v = 4 , then

10 = [tex]\frac{80k}{4^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{80k}{16}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 16 to clear the fraction )

160 = 80k ( divide both sides by 80 )

2 = k

m = [tex]\frac{2K}{v^2}[/tex] ← equation of variation

The expression of mass as a function of kinetic energy and velocity is m = 2K/V².

What is an expression?

Expressions are defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers.

We have been given that the mass varies directly as the Kinetic energy (K) and inversely as the square of the velocity (V).

m ∝ K/V²

m = cK/V²

Here c is the constant of variation,

If the kinetic energy is 80 Joules and the velocity is 4 meters per second, then the mass is 10 kilograms.

We have to determine the value of c

Here m = 10 , K = 80 and V = 4 , then

Substitute the values in m =  cK/V²

10 = c(80)/4²

10 = c(80)/16

10 = 5c

c = 10/5

c = 2

Substitute the value of c = 2 in the equation of variation,

⇒ m = 2K/V²

Hence, the expression of mass as a function of kinetic energy and velocity is m = 2K/V².

What is the alternate hypothesis?

Answers

Answer:

H1 : μ ≠ 20000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Population mean salary, μ = 20,000

To test if mean salary is more or less Than population mean salary, μ, this means we are testing if the mean salary is different from 20,000

Hence, the hypothesis :

Null, H0 : The mean salary is 20000

Alternative, H1 : The mean salary is not 20000

Using notation :

H0 : μ = 20000

H1 : μ ≠ 20000

Hence, alternative hypothesis is : H1 : μ ≠ 20000

Based on a random sample of 50, a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion was computed. Holding everything else constant, which of the following will reduce the length of the confidence interval by half? (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): A. Quadruple the sample size. B. Change the confidence level to 68%. C. Double the sample size. D. Change the confidence level to 99.7%. E. Decrease the sample proportion by half.

Answers

The length of the confidence interval is the margin of error, which is the ratio of the standard deviation and the square root of sample size. Hence, to reduce the length of confidence interval by half, Quadruple the sample size.

Recall :

Margin of Error = σ/√n

Evaluating an hypothetical scenario :

Let standard deviation, σ = 2

Sample size = 50

Margin of Error = 2/√50 = 0.554

Using Quadruple of the sample size : (50 × 4) = 200 samples

Margin of Error = 2/√200 = 0.277

(0.227 ÷ 0.554) = 0.5

Therefore, increasing the sample size, reduces the margin of error. Hence, using quadruple the sample size, will reduce the margin of error by half.

This is a relative frequency question. Applying the concept, we get that the relative frequency of gluten free breads sold at store A compared to those sold at all stores combined is 0.1667.

Relative frequency:

The relative frequency of a to b is given by a divided by b.

In this question:

a: Gluten free breads sold at store A

b: Gluten free breads sold at all stores combined.

2 + 7 + 3 = 12 gluten free breads sold.

2 sold at store A, so:

[tex]\frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

48degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the circle geometry shown, traingle BDC is an isosceles triangle which shows means that their base angels are the same. Hence;

<B = <C

<CBD + <BCD + <D = 180

<BCD + <BCD + <D =180

2<BCD + <BDC = 180

Get <BCD;

<BCD+ <ECB = 90

<BCD + 48 = 90

<BCD = 90 - 48

<BCD = 42degrees

Get <BDC

2<BCD + <BDC = 180

2(42)+ <BDC = 180

84 + <BDC = 180

<BDC = 180 - 84

<BDC = 96

Since angle at the centre is twice that at the circumference, then;

<BAC = 1/2(<BDC )

<BAC = 96/2

<BAC = 48degrees
