A scientist needs 10 liters of a 20% acid solution for an experiment, but she only has a 5% solution and a 40% solution. To the nearest tenth of a liter, about how many liters of the 5% and 40% solutions should she mix to get the solution she needs?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of liters of 40% solution in the mix. Then the total amount of acid in the mix is ...

  0.40x +0.05(10-x) = 0.20(10)

  0.35x +0.5 = 2.0

  0.35x = 1.5

  x = 1.5/0.35 ≈ 4.3 . . . . liters of 40% solution

  10-x = 10 -4.3 = 5.7 . . .liters of 5% solution

x = 25/2304

step-by-step explanation:

welll its a very hard question but ill

step-by-step explanation:

first you take the 6 dollars and add 10 to it then add the 50 to that then multiply by 8 with xy and your answer will be

hope this
