Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is simply 2:5
You are comparing the two times
Set up a ratio of known to unknown:
Let X = the amount of gas needed for 500 miles:
220/12 = 500/x
Cross multiply:
220x = 6000
Divide both sides by 220:
X = 6000 / 220
x = 27.27 gallons (round answer as needed).
Answer:
F. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.
BD/DE = AD/BD
h/4 = 16/h
h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h
h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)
_____
<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:
BC = √(AC·DC)
BA = √(AC·AD)
K=4
add seven on both sides
2x-4y=7
add 4y on both sides
2x=7+4y
divide 2 on both sides
x=7+4y/2
plug that into original equation
2(7+4y/2)-4y-7=0
7 and 4y cancel out
2(2)=0
4=0
Answer:
The amount of acid in third container is =42%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given , one container is filled with a mixture that is 30% acid a second container filled with a mixture that is 50% acid and the second container 50% larger than the first .
Let, the volume of first container is = x
Then , the volume of second container = (x+ x of 50%)
= x + 0.5 x
= 1.5 x
Therefore the amount of acid in first container 
= 0.3 x
The amount of acid in second container 
= 0.75x
Total amount of acid= 0.3x + 0.75x = 1.05 x
Total amount of solution = x+1.5x = 2.5x
The amount of acid in third container is = 
%
= 42%
