A vat with 700 gallons of beer contains 4% alcohol (by volume). Beer with 6% alcohol is pumped into the vat at a rate of 7 gal/min and the mixture is pumped out at the same rate. What is the percentage of alcohol after an hour

5.2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 hour (60 / 100) * 700 = 420 gallons of beer have been exchanged.

So we have 420 gallons of 6%  and 280 gallons of 4% after 1 hour.

So the strength at that time =  (420* 6) + 280*4) / 700

= 5.2%.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
