Answer:

750 grams of 60% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x = amount of 60% alloy and y = amount of 20% alloy

Equating the amounts of gold:

0.6x+0.2y = 1000(0.5)

Since there must be 1000 grams total:

x+y = 1000

Writing the 2 resulting equations together:

0.6x + 0.2y = 500

x + y = 1000

Multiply the first equation by 5:

3x + y = 2500

x + y = 1000

Subtracting the 2nd equation from the 1st:

2x = 1500

x = 750

Answer: 750 grams of 60% alloy

Answer:

The ratio 450 : 200 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 50 :

450 : 200 = 9 : 4

Therefore:

450 : 200 = 9 : 4

Find MQ in parallelogram LMNQ .
Liula [17]

Answer:

MQ = 16.4

By the <u>Parallelogram Diagonals Theorem</u> , MP = <u>PQ</u>

So MQ = 2 · <u>MP</u>

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Parallelogram Diagonals Theorem</u>

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, i.e. they divide each other into <em>two equal parts</em>.

P is the point of intersection of the diagonals.

Therefore, MP = PQ and LP = PN

If MP = 8.2, then PQ = 8.2

⇒ MQ = 8.2 + 8.2 = 16.4
