Let x be the amount of the 30% alloy and y the amount of the 60% alloy the metalworker will use. However much is used, the final alloy will have a mass of

x+y=100

kilograms. For each kg of the 30% alloy used, 0.3 kg is copper; similary, each kg of the 60% alloy contributes 0.6 kg, so that

0.3x+0.6y=0.54(x+y)=54

Now,

x+y=100\implies y=100-x

\implies0.3x+0.6(100-x)=54

\implies60-0.3x=54

\implies0.3x=6

\implies x=20

\implies y=100-20=80

Find each unit rate <br> 1)78mi on 3gal<br> 2)$52.50 in 7 hours<br> 3)416 mi in 8 hours
Andreas93 [3]
1) Unit Rate = 26:1
We already know that for every 3 gallons, you can travel 78 miles. Divide 78 by 3 to get 26. The 26 stands for how many miles you can travel on one gallon.

2) Unit Rate = $7.50:1
Since we already know that for every 7 hours, you earn $52.50, divide 52.50 by 7 to get 7.50. The 7.50 represents how much money you earn in 1 hour.

3) Unit Rate = 52:1
Since you can travel 416 miles in 8 hours, divide 416 by 8 to get 52. The 52 represents how many mile you can travel in 1 hour alone.

Here's a little hint too: (If I remember correctly) For unit rates, it's always going to be *any number* to 1. So even if it's a decimal or a negative, the other side of the rate always has to be 1 :)

If you wanted to find the mean height of students in an elementary school,
Kryger [21]

It is not possible to select a single group from the primary school, since being a single group it could not in any way represent the entire primary school.

Choosing a group would provide the average height for that group, not the entire primary.

Assumptions can be made that the course of half of the primary would theoretically give us a more accurate representation, but the objective is to select a number of students from each course and there would be a representative sample of the entire primary.
