Pollution Rates Assignment
1. You have a 12-pound bag of a 40WP pesticide:
a. How many pounds of the product is the active ingredient?
Given the amount of active ingredient from problem 1, and an absorption rate of 92%:
What percent of active ingredient will end up in the run-off?
il. How many pounds of active ingredient will end up in the run-off?
2. You have a 25-pound bag of a SOWP pesticides

1. a) 4.8 lb

I) 8%

II) 0.384 lb

2. a) 12.5 lb

I) 8%

II) 1 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the given variables:

mass of pesticide (m) = 12 lb,

40WP (40 weight percent) means the active ingredient comprises 40% of the total mass of the pesticide

a) amount of active ingredient = mass of the pesticide * weight percentage of the active ingredient

x = 12 * 40% = 12 * 0.4

x = 4.8 lb

I. If the soil has an absorption rate of 92%, that means 8% will go into the run-off

The percentage of active ingredient that will end up in the run-off = the percentage of the active ingredient (100%) - the absorption rate

y = (100 - 92)%

y = 8%

II. amount of of active ingredient that will end up in the run-off = amount of active ingredient * the percentage of active ingredient that will end up in the run-off

z = x * y = 4.8 * 8% = 4.8 * 0.08

z = 0.384 lb

2. Let's list out the variables given, we have:

mass of pesticide = 25 lb, weight percent of active ingredient = 50% = 0.5

amount of active ingredient = mass of the pesticide * weight percentage of the active ingredient

x = 25 * 0.5

x = 12.5 lb

I. If the soil has an absorption rate of 92%, that means 8% will go into the run-off

The percentage of active ingredient that will end up in the run-off = the percentage of the active ingredient (100%) - the absorption rate

y = (100 - 92)%

y = 8%

II. amount of of active ingredient that will end up in the run-off = amount of active ingredient * the percentage of active ingredient that will end up in the run-off

z = x * y = 12.5 * 8% = 12.5 * 0.08

z = 1 lb

choice b is correct

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the following system of linear inequalities;

we are required to graphically determine the solution to these system of inequalities. using a graphing tool, the solution is as shown in the attachment below;

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .
