Exercises 37-42 involve mixtures.
A lab technician needs to mix a 5% fungicide solution with a 10% fungicide solution to obtain a 50-liter mixture consisting of 8% fungicide. How many liters of each of the fungicide solutions must be used? Begin by filling in the missing entries in the table on the next page. Then use the fact that the amount of fungicide in the 5% solution plus the amount of fungicide in the 10% solution must equal the amount of fungicide in the 8% mixture
A candy company needs to mix a 20% fat-content chocolate with a 15% fat-content chocolate to obtain 50 kilograms of a 16% fat-content chocolate. How many kilograms of each kind of chocolate must be used? Begin by filling in the missing entries in the following table. Then use the fact that the amount of fat in the 20% fat-content chocolate plus the amount of fat in the 15% fat-content chocolate must equal the amount of fat in the 16% mixture.
42. At the north campus of a small liberal arts college, 10% of the students are women. At the south campus, 50% of the students are women. The campuses are merged into one east campus. If 40% of the 1200 students at the east campus are women, how many students did each of the north and south campuses have before the merger?
