parts of 10% soln, x

parts of 25% soln, y

total soln, x+y =30

{x(0.1) + y(0.25)}/(x + y) = 0.12...eqn 1

x + y = 30...eqn 2

from eqn 2...=》 x = 30-y

subst for x in eqn 1...

=》 {(30-y)(0.1) + y(0.25)}/ 30-y+y = 0.12

=》 (3-.1y+.25y)/30 =0.12

=》 3+.15y = 3.6

=》 .15y = .6

=》 y =4

using x = 30 - y = 26

ans

26ml of 10% soln

4ml of 25% soln

A person is standing exactly 36 ft from a telephone pole. There is a 30° angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the po
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

20.78feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question made us to understand that the man is standing and also there is angle of elevation, then we need to draw a right triangle having a base equal to 36 feet with an angle from the base to the top of the pole which is 30 degrees.

tan= opposite side / adjacent side

Let height of the pole =h

Tan(30)= h/36

But tan 30degree= 1/√3

h= 36 × 1/√3

h= 20.78feet

Therefore, the height of the pole= 20.78feet

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction (3 m Superscript negative 2 Baseline n) Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 6 m
Dovator [93]

Option a: \frac{m^{5} }{162n} is the equivalent expression.

Explanation:

The expression is \frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} } where m\neq 0, n\neq 0

Let us simplify the expression, to determine which expression is equivalent from the four options.

Multiplying the powers, we get,

\frac{3^{-3}m^{6} n^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }

Cancelling the like terms, we have,

\frac{3^{-3}m^{5} n^{-1}}{6 }

This equation can also be written as,

\frac{m^{5}}{3^{3}6 n^{1} }

Multiplying the terms in denominator, we have,

\frac{m^{5} }{162n}

Thus, the expression which is equivalent to \frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} } is \frac{m^{5} }{162n}

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
