Answer: 14.67 pounds of second alloy must be added to the first alloy to get 12% mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A alloy of 14% tin weigh 22 pounds.

There is a  second alloy of 9% tin .

we need to find the quantity of second alloy that must be added to first alloy get a 12% mixture.

We will use "Mixture Alligation":

   Ist alloy   IInd alloy

     14%             9%

               12%

-------------------------------------

 12-9          :             14-12

    3            :                2

Since Ist alloy = 22 pounds

According to question, it becomes,

\frac{3}{2}=\frac{22}{x}\\\\2\times 22=3x\\\\44=3x\\\\\frac{44}{3}=x\\\\14.67=x

Hence, 14.67 pounds of second alloy must be added to the first alloy to get 12% mixture.

Is 15b+4=25.6 equivalent to 0.6+15b+4=25.6
pychu [463]
No because
15b + 4 = 25.6
15b = 21.6
b = 1.44

0.6+15b+4 = 25.6
4.6 + 15b = 25.6
15b = 21
b = 1.4

The answers are not the same therefore they are not equivalent.

the midpoint of AB is point P at (-16,6) if point A is at (-10,8) what are the coordinates of point B?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Denote B(x, y), we have:

-10 + x = 2 x (-16) => x = -22

  8 + y = 2 x 6 => y = 4

=> B(-22, 4)

Hope this helps!

How to convert a repeating decimal to a fraction when only 1 digit is repeating?
Alecsey [184]
Example 0.777777

x = 0.77
10(x = 0.77) ----(10 because it is repeating by the tenth digit. if repeating by 2 digits like 0.2828, you'll multiply by 100)

10x = 7.77
-(x = 0.77)
9x = 7.00
x = 7/9
