Answer 1

Answer:

There are 62.3 milliers of acid in the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of the solution = 358 milliers

17.4% of the solution is acid

Amount of acid in the solution = 17.4% of the total amount

Amount of acid in the solution = 17.4% of 358

`\begin{gathered} \text{Amount of acid in the solution = }(17.4)/(100)*358 \\ \text{Amount of acid in the solution = }0.174*358 \\ \text{Amount of acid in the solution = }62.292\text{ milliers} \end{gathered}`

Amount of acis in the solution = 62.3 milliers (to the nearest tenth)

There are 62.3 milliers of acid in the solution
