A 16 karat gold means that there are 16 parts of gold in
24 parts of the gold chain. Therefore the weight of the pure gold is:
pure gold = (16 / 24) * 2.6 ounces
<span>pure gold = 1.73 ounces</span>
Answer:
x=17
The angles are Vertical.
Step-by-step explanation:
6x17 equals 102. Then subtract 12 from 102 to get 90 degrees.
6(17)-12=90 degrees
18 - 7x = -20.52.5 = 7xx = 5/14 (c)
Answer:
20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We can work easier if we think in terms of an hour
the first equation that we can write is
A + B = 1/4 (its meaning is that in an hour A and B fill 1/4 of the cistern)
the second equation we can write is
A + C = 1/5 (its meaning is that in an hour A and C fill 1/5 of the cistern)
the third equation that we can write is
B = 2C (its meaning is that in an hour B fill 2 times C the cistern)
now we can substitute the value of B in the first two equations
A + 2C = 1/4
A + C = 1/5
A = 1/5 - C
1/5 - C + 2C = 1/4
C = 1/4 -1/5
C = (5-4)/20
C = 1/20 (this means that in an hour C will fill 1/20 of the cistern, so it takes 20 hours to fill the entire cistern)
A = 1/5 - 1/20
A = (4-1)/20 = 3/20
B = 1/20 *2 = 1/10
