Water treatment plant receives a 5% polymer solution. Calculate how much polymer should be mixed with water to produce 350 gallons of a 0.5% solution.

Polymer to be mixed with water to produce 350 gallons of a 0.5% solution is  1.75 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution weight-age   100% = 350 gallons

Polymer weight-age = 0.5 %  = ?

Water weight-age = 99.5 % = ?

100 =99.5 w + 0.5 p

350 = ?      + ?

Using ratios

100          350

0.5           p

Applying the cross product rule

p = 350 *0.5/100= 1.75 gallons

Polymer to be mixed with water to produce 350 gallons of a 0.5% solution is  1.75 gallons

Using ratios

100          350

99.5           w

Applying the cross product rule

w = 350*99.5 /100= 348.25 gallons

Water to be mixed with water to produce 350 gallons of a 0.5% solution is  348.25 gallons

answer: the anser is 3

step-by-step explanation:

c- 2o is equal to 9

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
