The quantities in the proportion you give add to 16 pounds, of which 2 pounds are cement. That is, cement constitutes 1/8 of the total weight.

For each yard of concrete, 4000 lb/8 = 500 lb of cement are used.

For 12.5 yards of concrete, 12.5 * 500 = 6,250 pounds of cement will be used.

_____
"yard" in this case is shorthand for "cubic yard".

What is the value of x + 3y + z if x = 4, y = 5, and z= 22<br>a) 16<br>b) 41<br>c) 2​
fgiga [73]

Answer:

OPTION B - 41

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression is given and the corresponding values for the expression are also given. We have to substitute the given values to arrive at the answer.

The given expression is:   x + 3y + z.

Also given: x = 4, y = 5, z = 22.

Substitute these values in the above expression, we get:

4 + 3(5) + 22 = 4 + 15 + 22 = 41.

∴                                       x + 3y + z = 41

!!!! could anyone help on these two problems? find the value of each trigonometric ratio
Setler [38]

Answers:

  • sin(C) = 24/25
  • cos(Z) = 5/13

=============================================

Explanation:

The formulas we use are

  • sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
  • cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

The fraction 15/39 reduces to 5/13 after dividing both parts by the GCF 3.
