A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 40 % salt and Solution B is 90 % salt. She wants to obtain 50 ounces of a mixture that is 80 % salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870

answer:

1.14285714286

step-by-step explanation:

divide 40 into 35 and you will get your answer
