How many gallons of a 20% acid solution should be mixed with 30 gallons of a 40% solution, to obtain a mixture of 30% acid solution.

30 gallons of 20% acid solution should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x gallons of a 20% acid solution was mixed with 30 gallons of a 40% solution, to obtain a mixture of 30% acid solution.

Therefore, final volume of the solution will be (x + 30) gallons.

Now concept to solve this question is

20%.(x) + 40%.(30) = 30%.(x + 30)

0.20(x) + 0.40(30) = 0.30(x + 30)

0.20x + 12 = 0.30x + 9

0.30x - 0.20x = 12 - 9

.10x = 3

x =

x = 30 gallons

Therefore, 30 gallons of the 20% acid solution should be mixed.

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

stops on an even number.
