Mix a solution that is 30% alcohol with a solution that is 80% alcohol to make 575 mL of a solution that is 60% alcohol. How much of each solution should you use?( In mL)

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

345 mL of 80%230 mL of 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of 80% alcohol. Then (575 -x) is the amount of 30% alcohol. The total amount of alcohol in the mix is ...

  0.30(575 -x) +0.80(x) = 0.60(575)

  172.5 +0.50x = 345

  0.50x = 172.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 172.5

  x = 345 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2; amount of 80% needed

  575 -x = 230 . . . . amount of 30% needed

You should use 230 mL of 30% alcohol and 345 mL of 80% alcohol.

Additional comment

You can work a problem like this by writing two equations in two unknowns. The variables would be the amounts of each solution (w=weak, s=strong), and the equations would reflect the total amount and the amount of alcohol in the mix.

w+s = 575.30w +.80s = .60(575)

You will notice that if you solve this by substitution, substituting for the "weak" variable, you get ...

w = 575 -s0.30(575 -s) +0.80s = 0.60(575) . . . . substitute for w

which is the same equation we used above.

When you simplify this and isolate the variable, the coefficient of the variable is positive. This makes the arithmetic less prone to error. If you substitute for the "strong" variable, then the coefficients come out negative. That still works, but you need to spend extra effort to get the signs right.

Essentially, our choice of a single variable for the "strong" solution results in a single 2-step equation that is easily solved. A lot of mixture problems can be solved with this approach.

(2+i) (x+yi) = -7+3i​

Answers

Answer:

x = -11/5 or -2.2

y = 13/5 or 2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

well, start by doing the multiplication. then we will see better.

2x + 2yi + xi + yii = -7 + 3i

2x + 2yi + xi - y = -7 + 3i

this is because, remember, i = sqrt(-1), and ii = -1.

now we group the i-factors and the terms without i and compare it to the corresponding parts on the right side.

2x - y = -7

2yi + xi = 3i

=> 2y + x = 3

x = 3 - 2y

and that we use ihr the first equation again

2×(3-2y) - y = -7

6 - 4y - y = -7

-5y = -13

y = 13/5

x = 3 - 2×13/5 = 3 - 26/5 = 15/5 - 26/5 = -11/5

Suppose a six-sided die is tossed 1200 times and a 6 comes up 419 times. (a) Find the empirical probability for a 6 to occur. (Enter your probability as a fraction.) (b) On the basis of a comparison of the empirical probability and the theoretical probability, do you think the die is fair or biased

Answers

Answer:

Here both probabilities are not equal.

Therefore the die is not fair and biased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now n= 1200 times and x = 419 times.

a) Empirical Probability:

         [tex]=\frac{x}{n} \\\\= \frac{419}{1200}\\ \\=0.349[/tex]

Probability = 0.349

b) Theoretical Probability:

Here both probabilities are not equal.

Therefore the die is not fair and biased.

Monico recently hired a roofer to do some necessary work. On the final bill, Monico was charged a total of $605. The amount listed for parts was $285 and the rest of the bill was for labor. If the hourly rate for labor was $64, how many hours of labor was needed to complete the job?

(A) First write an equation you can use to answer this question. Use x as your variable. The equation is ___________________

(B) Solve your equation in part (A) to find the number of labor hours needed to do the job. Answer: The number of labor hours was ________________

Answers

Answer:

A) 64x + 285 = 605

B) 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

64x + 285 = 605

64x + 285-285 = 605 - 285

64x = 320

64x/64 = 320/64

x = 5

Double check

($605 Total - $285 parts) / $64 Hourly rate = Labor per hour

$320 Labor / $64 Hour = 5 hours

or 64x

Taylor wants to find the perimeter of a rectangular playground. The lenght of the playground measures (3x-20) metres. The width of the playground measures (2x+4) metres. What is the perimeter of the playground? ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(3x-20) + 2(2x+4) = (6x-40) + (4x+8) = 10x-32

The required perimeter of the playground is 10x-32.

The length of the playground measures (3x-20) metres.
The width of the playground measures (2x+4) metres.

What is the perimeter?

Perimeter, is the measure of the figure on its circumference.

The Required perimeter is for the playground is given by

At a time hours after taking a tablet, the rate at which a drug is being eliminated r(t)= 50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)is mg/hr. Assuming that all the drug is eventually eliminated, calculate the original dose.

Answers

Answer:

2500 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since r(t) is the rate at which the drug is being eliminated, we integrate r(t) with t from 0 to ∞ to find the original dose of drug, m. Since all of the drug will be eliminated at time t = ∞.

Since r(t) =  50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

m = ∫₀⁰⁰50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

= 50∫₀⁰⁰(e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

= 50[∫₀⁰⁰e^-01t - ∫₀⁰⁰e^-0.20t]

= 50([e^-01t/-0.01]₀⁰⁰ - [e^-0.20t/-0.02]₀⁰⁰)

= 50(1/-0.01[e^-01(∞) - e^-01(0)] - {1/-0.02[e^-0.02(∞) - e^-0.02(0)]})

= 50(1/-0.01[e^-(∞) - e^-(0)] - {1/-0.02[e^-(∞) - e^-(0)]})

= 50(1/-0.01[0 - 1] - {1/-0.02[0 - 1]})

= 50(1/-0.01[- 1] - {1/-0.02[- 1]})

= 50(1/0.01 - 1/0.02)

= 50(100 - 50)

= 50(50)

= 2500 mg

If the mean age of the managers in company is 52 years with a standard deviation of 2.5 years, what is the probability that a randomly chosen manager will be between 54.5 and 57 years old

Answers

Answer:

13.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

For a normal distribution, the Empirical Rule states that 68% of values lie between 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% of values lie between 2 standard deviations of the mean, and 99.7% of values lie between 3 standard deviations of the mean. Here, we can see that 54.5 is 1 standard deviation away from the mean and 57 is 2 standard deviations away. This means that we want to find the difference between 1 and 2 standard deviations from the mean (in the positive direction)

To find the difference, we can simply find (percent of values 2 standard deviations of the mean) - (percent of values 1 standard deviation from the mean) = percent of values between 1 and 2 standard deviations from the mean

= 95-68 = 27 %

Finally, this gives us the percent of values between 1 and 2 standard deviations from the mean on both sides. We want to only find the positive aspect of this, as we don't care how many values are between 49.5 and 47 years old. Because normal distributions are symmetric, or equal on both sides of the mean, we can simply divide by 2 to eliminate the half we don't want, resulting in 27/2 = 13.5

The probability that a randomly chosen manager will be between 54.5 and 57 years old is 0.8413.

Given that, average age managers = 52 years standard deviation = 2.5 years.

What is standard deviation?

Standard deviation is the positive square root of the variance. Standard deviation is one of the basic methods of statistical analysis. Standard deviation is commonly abbreviated as SD and denoted by 'σ’ and it tells about the value that how much it has deviated from the mean value.

Considering the equation Z =  (X−μ)/σ

Where, X is the lower or higher value, as the case may be μ  is the average σ  is standard deviation

Now, z1= (54.5 - 52)/2.5

= 1

z2= (57 - 52)/2.5

= 2

Now, z2-z1= 2-1

= 1

P(54.5>Z<57)= 0.8413

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen manager will be between 54.5 and 57 years old is 0.8413.

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation −40m2+10m−1=0

Answers

From the analysis of the discriminant, you obtain that the quadratic function has no real solutions.

In first place, you must know that the roots or solutions of a quadratic function are those values ​​of x for which the expression is 0. This is the values ​​of x such that y = 0. That is, f (x) = 0.

Being the quadratic function f (x)=a*x² + b*x + c, then the solution must be when: 0 =a*x² + b*x + c

The solutions of a quadratic equation can be calculated with the quadratic formula:

[tex]Solutions=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula under the square root, that is, b² - 4*a*c

The discriminant can be positive, zero or negative and this determines how many solutions (or roots) there are for the given quadratic equation.

If the discriminant:

is positive: the quadratic function has two different real solutions. equal to zero: the quadratic function has a real solution. is negative: none of the solutions are real numbers. That is, it has no real solutions.

In this case, a= -40, b=10 and c= -1. Then, replacing in the discriminant expression:

discriminant= 10² -4*(-40)*(-1)

Solving:

discriminant= 100 - 160

discriminant= -60

The discriminant is negative, so the quadratic function has no real solutions.
