Georgina wants to make a 42% citric acid solution. if she has 0.5 liters of water, how many liters of a 49% citric acid solution should she add?

Georgina should add 3 liters of 49% citric acid solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the liters of 49% solution that Georgina should add. Then after she has added 0.5 liters of water, the total liters of solution she has will be

and 42% of this should be the solute:

and since adding water does not add any solvent, this amount must come from the 49% citric acid solution; therefore

Solving for we get:

This the amount of 49% citric acid solution Georgina must add.

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1

step-by-step explanation:

1,500 is 15 times larger than 100

lets make 250 15 times larger.
