Answer=875miles 17.5miles per gallon
350miles x miles
________=_________
20gallons 50gallons
cross multiply
20x=17500
divide both sides by 20
x=875
875 miles can be traveled with 50 gallons of gas.
To find gas milage, which is essentially miles per gallon, simply divide the number of miles by the number of gallons
350miles 20gallons
350/20=17.5 miles per gallon
10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of 10 % saline solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of liters of 60% saline solution
Now we require 10 L of 30% saline solution.
Liter soln % liters saline %
30 % 10 0.3
60 % x 0.6
10 % 10-x 0.1
Now forming the algebraic equation,
0.6x + 0.1 (10-x) = 10 (0.3)
0.6x + 1 - 0.1 x = 3
0.5 x = 2
x = 4 ( 4 l of 60 % solution is required. So 10 % saline solution required is 10 - 4 = 6 L).
Hence, 10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of 10 % saline solution.
