Answer:

The annual haircut in the United States contains $ 20,000 from zinc

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg of hair contains ___________________ 0.0002 kg of zinc

25,000,000 kg of hair _________________             X

X=\frac{25,000,000 kg of hair X 0.0002 kg of zinc}{1 kg of hair}= 5,000 kg of zinc

It means that 25,000,000 kg of hair contains 5000 kg of zinc.

Otherwise,

If 1 kg of zinc _____________ worths $4

5,000 kg of zinc___________    X

X=\frac{5000 kg of zinc x 4$}{1kg of zinc}

X= $20,000

Answer:

20,000 u$S

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all let's calculate how many kg of Zinc we obtain of hear cuts in an year:

  • 25,000,000 Kg of hair.
  • For each kg of hair we obtain 0.0002 kg of zinc

So, if we multiply, we can obtain the quantity of zinc:

25,000,000 kg of hair * 0.0002 kg of zinc/kg of hair = 5,000 kg of zinc

Now, if every kilo of zinc worth 4 dollars:

  • 5000 kg of zinc *4 U$S/Kg of zinc = 20,000 U$S

Which equation is true for the three pairs of x- and y- values in the table
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

  1.  -2+2x=y

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need to try the first two lines of the table to determine which equation works.

Only equations 1 and 4 work for the first line of the table (x=0).

  • 1.  -2 +2·0 = -2 . . . . . . . this works
  • 2.  2 -2·0 = 2 ≠ -2
  • 3.  2 +2·0 = 2 ≠ -2
  • 4.  -2 +0 = -2 . . . . . . . this works

Of those, only equation 1 works for the second line of the table (x=1).

  • 1.  -2 +2·1 = 0 . . . . . . . this works
  • 4.  -2 +1 = -1 ≠ 0

The equation that is true for the table values is ...

  -2 +2x = y

Answer:

x=6.93\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

To better understand the problem see that attached figure with letters

we know that

In the right triangle BCD

cos(C)=4/x ----> equation A

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

cos(C)=x/12 -----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

\frac{4}{x}=\frac{x}{12}\\ \\x^{2}=48\\ \\x=6.93\ units
