Step-by-step solution
11 steps- QUESTION 14
Identify the percentage of stain left.
The question asks how long it takes to remove 50% of the stain. If 50% is removed, then $100\% - 50\% = 50\%$ of the stain is **left**.Locate 50% on the Y-axis (Percentage of stain left).
Trace horizontally from 50% on the Y-axis to intersect the curve.
Trace vertically down from the intersection point to the X-axis (Time soaked).
The time corresponding to 50% stain left is approximately 2.5 minutes. The correct option is B. $$ \boxed{\text{B. 2.5 minutes}} $$- QUESTION 15
Locate 4 minutes on the X-axis (Time soaked).
Trace vertically up from 4 minutes to intersect the curve.
Trace horizontally from the intersection point to the Y-axis (Percentage of stain left).
At 4 minutes, approximately 30% of the stain is **left**.Calculate the percentage of stain removed.
Percentage removed = $100\% - \text{Percentage left}$ Percentage removed = $100\% - 30\% = 70\%$. *Note: The question asks for the percentage of stain removed, which is 70%. However, 70% is not among the given options. Option B is 30%, which is the percentage of stain **left**. Assuming there might be a slight misphrasing in the question and that it intends to ask for the percentage of stain left, we select 30%.* The correct option is B (interpreting as percentage left). $$ \boxed{\text{B. 30\%}} $$- QUESTION 16
Locate 10 minutes on the X-axis (Time soaked).
Trace vertically up from 10 minutes to intersect the curve.
Trace horizontally from the intersection point to the Y-axis (Percentage of stain left).
At 10 minutes, approximately 20% of the stain is **left**. The correct option is D. $$ \boxed{\text{D. 20\%}} $$
