Answer
Find out the how many pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .
To proof
let us assume that the pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore be x .
As given
In an ore, 9.8% of its total weight is metal.
ore weight = 1,950 lb
9.8% is written in the decimal form
= 0.098
Than the equation becomes
x = 0.098 × 1950
x = 191.1 pounds
Therefore the 191.1 pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .
Hence proved
<span>3(x-4)= -5
Multiply 3 by x and -4
3x-12= -5
Add 12 to both sides
3x= 7
Divide 3 on both sides
Final Answer: 7/3 or 2 1/3
</span>
The width would be x-4 and
Length would be x
Add all of the sides together
(x-4)+(x-4) + x + x =72,
Which would come out
4x-8=72
Subtract 8 fro, 72 and you get 64
Then divided 64 by 4
So. Width is 16 and length is 20 . given (x-4)
Answer:
1.5 per hour : 1.2 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the ratio is shown below:
For norma, the one pool would be
= 12 pools ÷ 8 hours
= 1.5 per hour
And for albert, the one pool would be
= 9 pools ÷ 7.5 hours
= 1.2 per hour
So the ratio between them is
1.5 per hour : 1.2 per hour
