Joy is preparing 20 liters of a 25% saline solution. She has only a 40% solution and a 10% solution in her lab. How many liters of the 40% solution and how many liters of the 10% solution should she mix to make the 25% solution?

10 liters of the 40% solution, and 10 liters of the 10% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that x = the liters of the 40% solution, and y = liters of the 10% solution in her lab. We know that Joy is preparing a solution containing a total 20 liters, so x + y = 20. We can respectively create the following system of equations,

x + y = 20,

0.40x + 0.10y = 0.25 ( 20 )

And now we have to solve this system of equations for x and y, the liters of the 40% solution and the liters of the 10% solution,

 ( Substitute x as 20 - y )

( Isolate y )

⇒ ⇒ ⇒ y = 10

⇒ x = 10

Therefore, there are 10 liters of both the 40% and 10% solution.

it will be a cylinder. with a diameter of 8 and 4 single pieces high
