Travel_Word_Problems/280396: A boy swims downstream 0.9 miles in the same amount of time that he can swim 0.6 miles upstream. If the rate of the current is 1.5 mph, how fast can he swim in still water? 1 solutions
Answer 203801 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-03-13 17:39:38 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!D=RT
.9=(R+1.5)T SWIMMING DOWNSTREAM.
T=.9/(R+1.5)
.6=(R-1.5)T SWIMMING UPSTREAM.
T=.6/(R-1.5)
THE TIMES ARE THE SAME THUS SET THE TWO EQUATIONS EQUAL.
.9/(R+1.5)=.6/(R-1.5) CROSS MULTIPLY.
.9(R-1.5)=.6(R+1.5)
.9R-1.35=.6R=+.9
.9R-.6R=.9+1.35
.3R=2.25
R=2.25/.3
R=7.5 MPH IS THE SPEED OF THE SWIMMER IN STILL WATER.
PROOF:
.9/(7.5+1.5)=.6(7.5-1.5)
.9/9=.6/6
.1=.1

Proportions/280412: A technician has been given 100ml of a 10% acetic acid solution. The pharmacist asked the technician to dilute the solution of 500 ml with sterile water and to label the solution. What percent should appear on the label? 1 solutions
Answer 203777 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-03-13 16:49:20 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!IF the total mix is 500ml then:
.10*100=500x
10=500x
500x=10
x=10/500
x=.02 or thre mix is 2% acid.
-------------------------------------------
IF you're adding 500ml of water then:
.10*100=(100+500)x
10=600x
600x=10
x=10/600
x=.0167 or 1.67% acid.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!1/x+1/2x=1/20
(2x+x)/2x*x=1/20
3x/2x^2=1/20 cross multiply.
2x^2=3x*20
2x^2=60x cancel out one of the xs.
2x=60
x=30 hours for the experienced auditor.
Proof:
1/30+1/2*30=1/20
1/30+1/60=1/20
(60+30)/30*80)=1/20
90/1,800=1/20
1,800=90*20
1,800=1,800

You can put this solution on YOUR website!-7x-8y=9 multiply by 9
-4x+9y=-22 multiply by 8 & add.
-63x-72y=81
-32x+72y=-176
--------------
-95x=-95
x=-95/-95
x=1 ans.
-7*1-8y=9
-7-8y=9
-8y=9+7
-8y=16
y=16/-8
y=-2 ans.
SOLUTION: (1,-2)
-7x-8y=9
-8y=7x+9
y=7x/-8+9/-8
y=-7x/8-9/8 (red line)
-4x+9y=-22
9y=4x-22
y=4x/9-22/9 (green line)
