A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 5 milliliters of compound A used for every 3 milliliters of compound B. If a chemist wants to make 656 milliliters of the drug, how many milliliters of compound A are needed?

Explanation:

The ratio of A to B is 5:3

Multiply both parts by x to get 5x:3x

We need 5x parts of A and 3x parts of B

Adding those parts should get us 656 mL total

A+B = total

5x+3x = 656

8x = 656

x = 656/8

x = 82

Therefore, we need 5x = 5*82 = 410 mL of compound A

Also, we need 3x = 3*82 = 246 mL of compound B

In total, we have A+B = 410+246 = 656 mL which helps confirm the answer.

Side note: The ratio  410:246 reduces to 5:3 after dividing both parts by 82.

9) i can't see the angle so whatever it is just do this: cos(angle) x hypotenuse and then use that answer and they hypotenuse and plug it into this: (answer you just got)^2 + b^2 = (hypotenuse)^2. the first answer will be the answer of the adjacent side and the second answer after this equation will be the opposite side.

10) y = 14 x = √147 or 12.12435565

11) x = 4.8

12) x = 4.2

13) x = 9.3

14) pq: 13.2

qr : 17.6

angle p: 53º

15) angle c: 54.3º

angle a: 35.7º

16) h = 21040

v = 1841

step-by-step explanation:

10) 7/sin(30) = 14 = y

7^2 + b^2 = 14^2

49 + b^2 = 196

b^2 = 196 - 49

√b^2 = √147

x = √147

11) cos(70) x 14 = 4.788282007

x = 4.8

12) tan(25) x 9 = 4.196768923

x = 4.2

13) sin(31) x 18 = 9.270685348

x = 9.3

14) pq: sin(37) x 22 = 13.23993051

pq: 13.2

qr: cos(37) x 22 = 17.56998122

qr : 17.6

angle p: 180 - (37 + 90) = 53º

15) cos-1(7/12) = 54.31466529

angle c: 54.3º

angle a: 180 - (90 + 54.31466529) = 35.68533471

angle a: 35.7º

16) 4 x 5280 = 21120

cos(5) x 21120

h = 21039.63202

h = 21040

sin(5) x 21120

v = 1840.729287

v = 1841
