Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.
In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.
The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.
Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
If an employee earns 200 dollars for 14 hours work, that means this person gets approximately 14 dollars and 29 cents per every hour.
Thus, in 35 hours, you can multiply 14.29 by 35 to get about 500 dollars.
In 35 hours, the employee will earn 500 dollars.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 1/2 (6x - 4) = 6
Expand the brackets.
x + 3x - 2 = 6
Add like terms.
4x - 2 = 6
Add 2 on both sides.
4x = 6 + 2
4x = 8
Divide 4 into both sides.
x = 8/4
x = 2
