Mixture Problems Ex. How many liters of a 40% acid solution must be added

Mixture Problems Ex. How many liters of a 40% acid solution must be added to 12 liters of a 20% solution to obtain a 25% solution? Within a mixture problem there is always a Starting amount, an Added amount, and a final Total amount. Percent Amount Mixture 20% Solution 0. 20 12 40% Solution 0. 40 Final Solution 0. 25 x 12 + x 0. 2(12) + 0. 4(x) = 0. 25(12 + x)

Mixture Problems Ex. How many liters of pure acid must be added to 3

Mixture Problems Ex. How many liters of pure acid must be added to 3 liters of a 50% acid solution to obtain a 75% acid solution? Within a mixture problem there is always a Starting amount, an Added amount, and a final Total amount. Percent Amount Mixture 0. 5(3) + 1. 0(x) = Acid Solution 50% = 0. 50 3 Pure Acid 100% = 1. 0 Final Solution 75% = 0. 75 x 3+x 0. 75(3 + x) 0. 5(3) + 1. 0(x) = 0. 75(3 + x)

Mixture Problems Ex. How many pounds of almonds selling for $4. 75 per pound

Mixture Problems Ex. How many pounds of almonds selling for $4. 75 per pound should be mixed with 10 pounds of dried fruit selling for $5. 50 per pound to obtain a trail mix that sells for $4. 95 per pound? Within a mixture problem there is always a Starting amount, an Added amount, and a final Total amount. Price Per Units (lb) Dried Fruit $5. 50 10 Almonds $4. 75 $4. 95 x 10 + x Trail Mix Total Price $5. 50(10) + $4. 75(x) = $4. 95(10 + x) 5. 50(10) + 4. 75(x) = 4. 95(10 + x)

Mixture Problems Ex. Nature Drinks wants to combine orange juice they sell for $0.

Mixture Problems Ex. Nature Drinks wants to combine orange juice they sell for $0. 09 per ounce with guava juice they sell for $0. 14 per ounce to create an orange-guava drink. How many ounces of orange juice should they use to create a 16 -ounce drink that would sell for $1. 74? Amount (oz) Price Cost Orange Juice 0. 09 x Guava Juice 0. 14 16 – x 16 Mix 0. 09 x + 0. 14(16 – x) = 1. 74 0. 9 x + 0. 14(16 – x) = 1. 74

Speed of One Vehicle n On Alberto’s drive to his aunt’s house, the traffic

Speed of One Vehicle n On Alberto’s drive to his aunt’s house, the traffic was light and he drove the 45 mile trip in one hour. However, the return trip took him two hours. What was his average speed for the round trip? n Going Returning – R=d/t -R=d/t =45 miles/1 hour(45 miles/hour) =45 miles/2 hours(22. 5 miles/hour) –

n To find the WEIGHTED average of Alberto’s speed, you have to take into

n To find the WEIGHTED average of Alberto’s speed, you have to take into consideration the fact that he did not drive the two speeds for equal amounts of time, so: – Average speed = 45(1) + 22. 5(2)/1+2 – 90/ = 30 30 – Alberto’s average speed was 30 miles per hour.

Distance Problems Ex. Two trains leave Smithville at the same time, one traveling east

Distance Problems Ex. Two trains leave Smithville at the same time, one traveling east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 40 miles per hour, and the westbound train travels at 30 miles per hour. Let h represent the hours since departure. When will the trains be 245 miles apart? Eastbound Westbound D = rt r t 40 h 30 h 40 h 30 h 40 h + 30 h = 245

Distance Problems Ex. Mandy begins bicycling west at 30 miles per hour at 11

Distance Problems Ex. Mandy begins bicycling west at 30 miles per hour at 11 AM. If Liz leaves from the same point 20 minutes later bicycling at 36 miles per hour, when will she catch Mandy? Mandy Liz D = rt r t 30 t 36(t – 20) 30 t 36 t – 20 30 t = 36(t – 20)
