a 20 litre mixture of milk and water contains milk and water in the ratio 3 : 2 . 10 litres of the mixture is removed and replaced with pure milk and the operation is repeated once more . at the end of the two removal and replacement , what is the ratio r of milk and water in the resultant mixture ?
"he 20 litre mixture contains milk and water in the ratio of 3 : 2 . therefore , there will be 12 litres of milk in the mixture and 8 litres of water in the mixture . step 1 . when 10 litres of the mixture is removed , 6 litres of milk is removed and 4 litres of water is removed . therefore , there will be 6 litres of milk and 4 litres of water left in the container . it is then replaced with pure milk of 10 litres . now the container will have 16 litres of milk and 4 litres of water . step 2 . when 10 litres of the new mixture is removed , 8 litres of milk and 2 litres of water is removed . the container will have 8 litres of milk and 2 litres of water in it . now 10 litres of pure milk is added . therefore , the container will have 18 litres of milk and 2 litres of water in it at the end of the second step . therefore , the ratio of milk and water is 18 : 2 or 9 : 1 . shortcut . we are essentially replacing water in the mixture with pure milk . let w _ o be the amount of water in the mixture originally = 8 litres . let w _ r be the amount of water in the mixture after the replacements have taken place . then , { w _ r } / { w _ o } = ( 1 - r / m ) ^ n where r is the amount of the mixture replaced by milk in each of the steps , m is the total volume of the mixture and n is the number of times the cycle is repeated . hence , { w _ r } / { w _ o } Β  = ( 1 / 2 ) ^ 2 Β  = 1 / 4 therefore r , w _ r Β  = { w _ o } / 4 = 8 / 4 Β  = 2 litres . b"

an offshore company sells two products , l and m . last year , seventy percent of the units sold were product l , and the price of product l was 25 percent greater than the price of product m . approximately what percent of the total revenue the company received last year was from the sale of product l ?
percentage of total units that is product l = 70 % price of product l = 25 percent greater than price of product m . now , we can consider this as a weighted average scenario . if the price of both the products l and m was equal , then contribution of product l to total sales would be = 70 % but since , price of product l is greater than m , then contribution of product l to total sales will be greater than 70 % the only option is 74 % answer e

it will be easier if you draw a table for this one . let t be the total trout . total speckled trout ( st ) = 645 if female speckled trout = fst then male speckled trout = 45 + 2 fst therefore 45 + 2 fst + fst = 645 we solve and get fst = 200 and mst = 445 ratio of fst to mrt = 4 : 3 we have fst = 200 solve ratio to get mrt = 150 now ratio of mrt to t = 3 : 20 we have mrt = 150 solve ratio to get t = 1000 now unless youve drawn the table it might get a little complex . from above we have mst and mrt mst + mrt = 445 + 150 = 595 so t - 595 = total female trouts 1000 - 595 = 405 female trouts we have from above that fst = 200 so ( whew ! ) frt = 405 - 200 = 205 answer is d

mike took a taxi to the airport and paid $ 2.50 to start plus $ 0.25 per mile . annie took a different route to the airport and paid $ 2.50 plus $ 5.00 in bridge toll fees plus $ 0.25 per mile . if each was charged exactly the same amount , and annie ' s ride was 16 miles , how many miles was mike ' s ride ?
"the cost of annie ' s ride was 2.5 + 5 + ( 0.25 * 16 ) = $ 11.50 let x be the distance of mike ' s ride . the cost of mike ' s ride is 2.5 + ( 0.25 * x ) = 11.5 0.25 * x = 9 x = 36 miles the answer is b ."
