I believe you just add all the numbers then divide by how many were there. You would divide by 16.

How many pounds of a 15% copper alloy must be mixed with 700lb of a 30% copper alloy to maybe a 25.5% copper alloy

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$300\; \rm lb$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ represent the mass (in pounds) of that $15\%$ copper alloy required, such that the final mixture would contain $25.5\%$ copper by mass.

Consider: if $x$ pounds of that $15\%$ copper alloy is mixed with $700$ pounds that $30\%$ copper alloy, what would be the mass of copper in the mixture?

Mass of copper in $x$ pounds of that $15\%$ copper alloy: $(0.15\, x)\; \rm lb$ .
Mass of copper in $700$ pounds of that $30\%$ copper alloy: $700 \times 0.30 = 210\; \rm lb$ .

Therefore, the mixture would contain $(210 + 0.15\, x) \; \rm lb$ of copper.

The mass of that mixture would be $(700 + x)\; \rm lb$ . The mass fraction of copper in that mixture would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\%$ .

This ratio is supposed to be equal to $25.5\%$ . These two pieces of equations combine to give an equation about $x$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\% = 25.5\%$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{210 + 0.15\, x}{700 + x} = 0.255$ .

Simplify and solve for $x$ :

$210 + 0.15\, x= 0.255\, (700 + x)$ .

$(0.255 - 0.15)\, x= 210 - 0.255 \times 700$ .

$\displaystyle x = \frac{210 - 0.255 \times 700}{0.255 - 0.15} = 300$ .

Therefore, $300\; \rm lb$ of that $15\%$ alloy would be required.

If v varies directly as w, and v=24 when w= 8, find the equation that relates v and w

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

v=3w

Step-by-step explanation:

v∝w

v=kw

24=8k

k=24/8 = 3

equation connecting v and w is

v=3w

A student factors a6 - 64 to (a2 - 4)(a4 + 4a2 + 16).Which statement about (a2 − 4)(a4 + 4a2 + 16) is correct?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The expression is equivalent, but the term is not completely factored.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : a student factors to

We have to choose the correct statement about from the given options.

Given is factored to

Consider

Using algebraic identity,

comparing and b = 4, we have,

Thus, the factorization is equivalent but we can simplify it further also, as

Using algebraic identity,

Thus,

Can be written as

Thus, the expression is equivalent, but the term is not completely factored.

Option (b) is correct.

If the area of a rectangle 16s2t and the length is 8st2, what would the width of the rectangle, given that width is found by div

Dafna1 [17]

Area = Length x Width
Substituting the given values:
16S^2 t = 8St^2 x Width
Manipulating for Width:
Width = 16S^2 t / <span>8St^2
Rewriting the squared terms in simplified form :
</span>Width = 16 x S x S x t / <span>8 x S x t x t
</span>Cancelling the like terms
Width = 16 x S / <span>8 x t
</span>Cancelling the numeric terms :

Width = 2S / <span>t</span>
