An ammonia and water mixture fills a five-gallon container. Eighty percent of the mixture is ammonia, but some of the mixture will be drained and replaced with pure water. If a five-gallon mixture of fifty percent ammonia is desired, how many quarts of the mixture need to be drained before the water is added, given that 4 quarts equals a gallon

The volume of the 80% ammonia that is to be drained before water is added is 7.5 quartz

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the ammonia and water mixture = 5 gallons

The percentage of ammonia in the mixture = 80%

The volume of ammonia desired = 5 gallons

The percentage concentration of ammonia desired = 50%

The diluting solution = Pure water

The measure of 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Therefore, we have, by equivalence solutions;

80% × x gallon = 50% × 5 gallons

x gallon = 50% × 5 gallons/(80%) = 3.125 gallons

x = 3.125 gallons

The volume of the 80% ammonia that is to be drained = 5 gallons - 3.125 gallons = 1.875 gallons

4 quarts = 1 gallon

1 gallon = 4 quarts

∴ 1.875 gallons = 4 × 1.875 quartz = 7.5 quartz

The volume of the 80% ammonia that is to be drained before water is added = 7.5 quartz

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
