Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:
n = 600/5 = 120.
The proportion of gold bars is given by:
p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30
Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:
nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

Answer:
-I haven't done this, but I have copied and pasted from another question and answer from the user syed514:
Graphing is one way to do the problem.But sometimes, graphing it is hard to do.So here’s an algebraic method.
If M(m1, m2) is the midpoint of two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2),then m1 = (x1 + x2)/2 and m2 = (y1 + y2)/2.In other words, the x-coordinate of the midpointis the average of the x-coordinates of the two points,and the y-coordinate of the midpointis the average of the y-coordinates of the two points.
Let B have coordinates (x2, y2) in our problem.Then we have that 6 = (2 + x2)/2 and 8 = (3 + y2)/2.
Solving for the coordinates gives x2 = 10, y2 = 13
Answer:
y=4x-5.
Step-by-step explanation:
slop-interception form of the required line is y=kx+b, where k - slop, b - intercept;
1) to find value of k:
if the required line is parallel to the given line, then slop of the given line = slop of the required line, it means k=4 and the required line is y=4x+b;
2) to find the value of 'b':
if to substitute the given coordinates into the equation of the given line, then:
15=4*5+b, b= -5.
3) finally, y=4x-5
1=-8 l
4=100 l
7=? l
llllllllllllllllllllll
So 5 pounds=12.5
divide 12.5 by 5 to get dollars per pound
$2.5 per pouind
