Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
90+2x+x=180
3x=90
x=30
Answer:
Because the kind of compounfds that you try to determine using paper chromatography (organic compounds) are usually not soluble in water. Furthermore, water could react chemically with some of this compounds, because it's a very reactive molecule. You need organic solvents that are mostly inert.
This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
144/36 in lowest terms is 4.
To show my work, here.
1. Find the GCF of 144 and 36 so now we divide (144/36 = 4 and 36/36 is 1)
2. Now we have 4/1 so we simplify again so divide 4/1 and its 4
