Copper: Nickel = 4:1

a) How much copper needed for 20 kg nickel
   C:N = 4: 1
   C:20 = 4:1

C/20 = 4/1 Cross Multiply
C*1 = 4*20
C = 80

80kg Copper would be needed.

b) How much Nickel would be needed for 20 kg of Copper
   C:N = 4: 1
   20:N = 4:1

20/N = 4/1 Cross Multiply
4*N = 1*20
4N = 20 Divide both sides by N.

N = 20/4 = 5

5kg Nickel would be needed.

A rectangular playground has a perimeter of 180 feet. If the width of the playground is 24 feet less than the length, what is th

Blababa [14]

P = 2(L + W)
P = 180
W = L - 24
now we sub
180 = 2(L + L - 24)
180 = 2(2L - 24)
180 = 4L - 48
180 + 48 = 4L
228 = 4L
228/4 = L
57 = L

W = L - 24
W = 57 - 24
W = 33

so ur length (L) = 57 ft and ur width (W) = 33 ft

Marina CMI [18]

Rectangular with whole numbers
perimiter=legnth+legnth+width+width=2l+2w
therefor
p=2l+2w=2(l+w)
p/2=l+w

perimiter=20
20=2l+2w
divide by 2 to make simpler
10=l+w
find all combos
l>w so
l=9 and w=1
l=8 and w=2
l=7 and w=3
l=6 and w=4

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 45.0 kg of gasoline when full. what is the depth of the tank if it is 0.450 m wide by 0.900

garri49 [273]

The answer is 0.154 m

Step 1. Calculate the volume of gasoline tank (V) using the known mass (m) and density of gasoline (D).
D = m/V
⇒ V = m/D
D = 719.7 kg/m³
m = 45.0 kg
V = 45.0 kg/719.7 kg/m³ = 0.0625 m³

Step 2. Calculate the depth of the tank (d) using the known volume (V) of gasoline and width (w) and length (l) of the tank:
V = d * w * l
0.0625 = d * 0.900 * 0.450
0.0625 = d * 0.405
d = 0.0625 / 0.405
d = 0.154 m
