Answer:

24 ounces of solution B
16 ounces of solution A

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest contributor of salt to the mix is the 45% solution (B), so we'll let our variable (b) represent the quantity of that. The total amount desired is 40 ounces, so the quantity of solution A is (40-b) ounces. Then the amount of salt in the mix is ...

0.45b +0.20(40-b) = 0.35(40)

Simplifying and subtracting 0.20(40), we get ...

0.25b = 0.15(40)

b = 40(.15/.25) = 24

(40-b) = 16

The scientist should use 24 ounces of Solution B and 16 ounces of Solution A.

Solve your equations below and right the algebraic steps, n/12 = 10

sdas [7]

$\frac{n}{12}=10$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12

$\frac{n}{12}\times12=10\times12$ $n=\text{ 120}$

How do you work this out?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

I'm guessing you find the length of the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c² a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15² + 8² = c²

225 + 64 = c²

289 = c²

√289 = √c²

17 = c

hope that helps, God bless!
