How many quarts of water must be added to 2 gal of soup that is 50% chicken broth to make the soup 40% chicken broth?

1 answer:

7 0

Step-by-step explanation: Well we would know that the original soup is one gallon water and one gallon broth because that is 2 gallons 50% to 50%.

Then to decrease the amount of broth by 10%, we would accomplish this by first turning the original gallons into quarts so we would have 4 quarts broth and 4 quarts water. We need to get a total of ten quarts SO........ we know that we need to add 2 MORE quarts of WATER.

Finally when we add all the quarts together we get 10 total with 6 water and 4 broth which totals to 60% water and 40% broth.

FINAL ANSWER: 2 QUARTS WATER

Maslowich

Answer:

The total change that will likely occur in 2 years is $=-3\frac{2}{3}$ mg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The first year, they found the chloride concentration changed by $-1\frac{3}{5}$ mg/L .

It is estimated that the chloride concentration will change $-2\frac{1}{15}$ mg/L the next year.

To find : What is the total change that will likely occur in 2 years?

Solution :

The chloride concentration changed by $-1\frac{3}{5}=-\farc{8}{5}$ mg/L in first year.

The chloride concentration will change $-2\frac{1}{15}=-\frac{31}{15}$ mg/L the next year.

The total change that will likely occur in 2 years is

$=-\frac{8}{5}+(-\frac{31}{15})$

$=\frac{-24-31}{15}$

$=\frac{-55}{15}$

$=\frac{-11}{3}$

In a mixed fraction - $=-3\frac{2}{3}$ mg/L

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= money earned per hour working as a cashier.

y=money earned per hour working delivering newspapers.

We propose the following system of equations:

5x + 4y =77

6x + 3y=78

We solve the system by reduction method:

-6*(5x+4y=77) ⇒ -30x-24y=-462

5*(6x+3y=78)⇒ 30x+15y=390

---------------------------

-9y=-72 ⇒ y=-72 /-9=8

Now, we get the value of "x" replacing the value of "y" by "8" in any part of the equation above.

5x + 4(8)=77

5x+32=77

5x=77-32

5x=45

x=45/5=9

therefore;

money earned per hour working as a cashier= $9/ hour

money earned per hour working delivering newspapers=$8/hour

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

$151,257.12

Step-by-step explanation:

7.5% is the annual interest rate, the monthly interest rate is:

$r= \frac{0.075}{12} =0.00625$

The amount (P) that must be deposited into an account at a rate 0.625% per month for 7 months in order to obtain $158,000 is given by:

$158,000 = P*(1+0.00625)^7\\P=\$151,257.12$

$151,257.12 must be deposited into the account today.

A cone is cut out of the center of a pyramid with a rectangular base. The rectangular base has side lengths of 15 and 10 units.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Volume of shaded portion = (600 - 36π) units³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the shaded portion = Volume of pyramid - Volume of cone

Volume of pyramid = ⅓*l*w*h

Where,

l = length of base of pyramid = 15 units

w = width of base of pyramid = 10 units

h = height of pyramid = 12 units

Plug in the values to find the volume of the pyramid

Volume of pyramid = ⅓*15*10*12 = 5*10*12 = 600 units³

Volume of Cone = ⅓πr²h,

Where,

r = radius = ½ of diameter = ½ of 9 = 3 units

h = height = 12 units

Volume of Cone = ⅓*π*3²*12 = ⅓*π*9*12

= π*3*12 = 36π units³

Volume of shaded portion = (600 - 36π) units³
