Zinc = 7/18
Divide 4.9 by 7 = 0.7
Multiply by 18 = 12.6

The answer is 12.6 lbs of alloy. Sorry if I'm wrong

What is the equation of a line that goes through the point (3, 12) and is perpendicular to the line given by the equation y = -1

Gnoma [55]

Y=3x+3

Perpendicular lines have the product of their gradients =-1
since gradient of line 1 =-1/3
then gradient of line 2 is
-1/3*m=-1
m=3

Using the diagram on the right, find the length of GT and TA.

Art [367]

Answer:

$GT=10\ units$ and $TA=6\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the diagram

Triangles GRT and GEA are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

$\frac{GR}{GE}=\frac{GT}{GA}$

we have

$GR=5\ units$

$GE=5+3=8\ units$

$GT=16-x\ units$

$GA=16\ units$

substitute

$\frac{5}{8}=\frac{16-x}{16}\\ \\5*16=8*(16-x)\\ \\80=128-8x\\ \\8x=128-80\\ \\x=48/8\\ \\x=6\ units$

therefore

$GT=16-x=16-6=10\ units$

$TA=x=6\ units$

Jessica, Lauren and Kimmie were paid a total of $120 for babysitting in a ratio of 2:3:5. How much less did Jessica make than Ki

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> amount paid to Jessica

y ----> amount paid to Lauren

z ----> amount paid to Kimmie

we know that

$x+y+z=120$ ------> equation A

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=\frac{2}{3}y$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{5}$

$z=\frac{5}{3}y$ -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y

$\frac{2}{3}y+y+\frac{5}{3}y=120$

$\frac{10}{3}y=120$

$y=120(3)/10$

$y=36$

<em>Find the value of x</em>

$x=\frac{2}{3}(36)=24$

<em>Find the value of z</em>

$z=\frac{5}{3}(36)=60$

therefore

The amount paid to Jessica was $24

The amount paid to Lauren was $36

The amount paid to Kimmie was $60

To find out how much less Jessica did than Kimmie, subtract the amount paid to Jessica from the amount paid to Kimmie.

$\$60-\$24=\$36$

therefore

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie
