Answer:

23% of Michael's rock collection is metamorphic rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of igneous rock in the collection = 27%

Percentage of sedimentary rock in the collection = 50%

Remaining rocks are metamorphic rock.

Total collection = 100%

Percentage of metamorphic rocks =

=100\%-(27\%+50\%)\\=100\%-77\%\\=23\%

Thus, 23% of Michael's rock collection is metamorphic rock.

Alekssandra [29.7K]
In this item, we are given that the number of miles that John runs every day vary. Therefore, it is just rightful that we use three different variables for the number of miles he ran for three days. For the purpose of representation in this item, we let the variables be x, y, and z. The total miles he ran is equal to the sum of the three variables. Let T be the total and that would be equal to,

 <em>              T = x + y + z</em>

A two-story building measures 21 feet from the ground.Ascale model shows the building to be 3 inches tall. How many inches would
jasenka [17]

Answer: 12\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the height inches (in the model) of a 84 foot building.

According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that the height of a two-story building is 21 feet and in the scale model its height is 3 inches.

Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{3}{21}=\frac{x}{84}

The final step is to solve for "x" in order to calculate its value. We get that this is:

\frac{3}{21}=\frac{x}{84}\\\\(84)(\frac{3}{21})=x\\\\x=12

Therefore,  an 84 foot building will be 12 inches tall in the model.
