Hi there! :)
Answer:
Length = 10.5 m, width = 7 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Perimeter, or P = 35 m
Ratio of l to w = 3 : 2
Since the ratio is 3 : 2, let l = 3x, and w = 2x.
We know that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w. Therefore:
35 = 2(3x) + 2(2x)
35 = 6x + 4x
35 = 10x
x = 3.5
Plug this value of "x" into each expression to solve for the dimensions:
2(3.5) = w
w = 7 m
3(3.5) = l
l = 10.5 m
Therefore, the dimensions are:
Length = 10.5 m, width = 7 m.
Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.
8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.
The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means
(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60
Solve for <em>q</em> :
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>
0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6
<em>q</em> = 4
