So we need to know what 23 1/2 + 9 5/8 + 6 1/4 is.
first, we need to make them into equivalent fraction.
so...
23 1/2 can be 23 4/8
9 5/8 and
6 1/4 can be 6 2/8
let's add the whole numbers.
23 + 9 + 6 = 38
4/8 + 5/8 + 2/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8
so 38 + 1 3/8 is 39 3/8
the answer is 39 3/8 pounds
Answer:
The correct answer is 4.8 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jamal stands on a dock 1.5 meters above the surface of the water.
A trout swims 4.8 meters below Jamal.
The trout must be swimming below the surface of water.
Therefore the distance below the surface of water where the trout is swimming is 4.8 - 1.5 = 3.5 meters.
But the vertical distance between Jamal and the trout is 4.8 meters only.
Answer:
The volume of the solution with 20% acid is 27 gallons and the one with 10% acid is 18 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Myra needs to mix "x" gallons of the solution with 20% and "y" gallons of the solution with 10%. The volume of the final solution must be 45 gallons, therefore:
x + y = 45
The concentration of acid of the final solution is:
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 45*0.16
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
Therefore we have a system of equation:
x + y = 45
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
We need to multiply the first equation by -0.1:
-0.1*x -0.1*y = -4.5
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
We now sum both equation:
0.1*x = 2.7
x = 2.7/0.1 = 27 gallons
y = 45 - 27 = 18 gallons
