Answer:

30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of tin in first alloy + amount of tin in second alloy = amount of tin in mixture

0.15 (20) + 0.10 x = 0.12 (20 + x)

3 + 0.10 x = 2.4 + 0.12 x

0.6 = 0.02 x

x = 30

4. Entomologists introduce 20 of one

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

This number can be found using the Rule of 70, which describes the formula dt = 70 / r, where dt is the doubling time, and r is the annual rate of growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

24/6 = 4

20 x 2 = 40 x 2 = 80 x 2 = 160 x 2 = 320

20 ---> 320 in the first day.

Keep doing this equation. Multiply each day's end result by 2 four times for 9 more days.

The maximum height of a vehicle that can safely pass under a bridge is 12 feet 5 inches. A truck measures 162 inches in height.

Leni [432]

1 foot = 12 inches. If you multiply 12 by 12 and then add 5, you get 149. 149 is less than 162 so it will be able to fit!
