Suppose x pounds of 0.46 copper and y pounds of 0.69 copper are used to make 43 pounds of 0.6 copper, thus
x+y=43
⇒x=43-y......i
Also:
0.46x+0.69y=0.6×43
0.46x+0.69y=25.8.....ii
substituting i in ii we get:
0.46(43-y)+0.69y=25.8
19.78-0.46y+0.69y=25.8
putting like terms together we obtain:
0.23y=6.02
y=26.174
hence:
x=16.826

Find the sum of the first 325325 positive even whole numbers.
iris [78.8K]
Multiply 325326×(325325/2)=52,918,503,138 How it works:
know that 325325+1 is 325326, then 325324+2 is the same number, therefore you will get this number as many times as half of biggest number since you sum every last biggest number-1 with every last smallest number+1. so just multiply and you will get

A man pays only $60 for an item which originally sells for $100. What percent of the original price does the man pay for the ite
Anni [7]
Answer: 40%. Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 40% off. This means you'll pay 60.000% of the total cost (100% - 40% = 60.000%).

The sum of the first 15 terms of a geometric sequence with 7 as the first term and a common ratio of -3 is __________.
Andre45 [30]

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is

Sn = s1(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)

with r being the common ratio and s1 is the first term.

so,

S15 = 7×(1 - (-3)¹⁵)/(1 - -3) = 7×(1 - -14,348,907)/4 =

= 7×14,348,908/4 = 7×3,587,227 = 25,110,589

SOVA2 [1]
Explanation: “The distributive property is where a number or value is distributed into a whole equation. Based on the work below as you can see I “distributed” 5 to (3m+4n) meaning I multiplied 5&3m and 5&4n, when I multiply 5&3 that give me 15, and when I multiply 5&4 that gives me 20. So when finally simplified my new equation is 15m+20n”

Make sure when you is the distributive property that you always add the variables because it will be wrong.

Suppose a researcher is interested in understanding the variation in the price of store brand milk. A random sample of 36 grocer
liberstina [14]

Answer: ($3.055, $3.205)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.95=0.5

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Sample size : n= 36

Sample mean : \overline{x}=\$\ 3.13

Standard deviation : \sigma= \$\ 0.23

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :_

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\text{i.e. }\$\ 3.13\pm (1.96)\dfrac{0.23}{\sqrt{36}}\\\\\approx\$\ 3.13\pm0.075\\\\=(\$\ 3.13-0.075,\$\ 3.13+0.075)=(\$\ 3.055,\$\ 3.205)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval to estimate the population mean = ($3.055, $3.205)
