It is known that when a certain liquid freezes into ice, its volume increases by 8%. Which of these expressions is equal to the volume of this liquid that freezes to make 1,750 cubic inches of ice?

Answer:

Volume of liquid which freezes to ice is 1620. 37 .

Expression to find this is 108x/100 = 1750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of liquid be x cubic inches

It is  given that volume of liquid increases by 8% when it freezes to ice

increase in volume of x  x cubic inches liquid = 8% of x = 8/100 * x = 8x/100

Total volume of ice = initial volume of liquid + increase in volume when it freezes to ice  = x + 8x/100 = (100x + 8x)/100 = 108x/100

Given that total volume of liquid which freezes is 1750

Thus,

108x/100 = 1750

108x = 1750*100

x = 1750*100/108 = 1620. 37

Volume of liquid which freezes to ice is 1620. 37 .

Expression to find this is 108x/100 = 1750
