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

560

hope this : )

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
