Brass is an alloy created using 80% copper and 20% zinc. If Henri's brass trumpet contains 48 ounces of copper, how many ounces

We know that the ration/percentage that brass is made of remains the same no matter what the weight is; 

Therefore, 48 ounces are 80% of the trumpet. 

48/80= 0.6 ounce per percent of the zinc (I divided the weight by the percent) 

0.6 ounces × 20%= 12 ounces 

Therefore, there are 12 ouches of zinc in Henri's trumpet. 

Hope I helped :)

A ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 60 mph. it is thrown from a height of 5 feet. what is the maximum height it
natima [27]

Answer:

h = 61.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The initial velocity of the ball, v = 60 m/s

It is thrown from a height of 5 feet, h_o=5\ ft

We need to find the maximum height it reaches. The height reached by the projectile as a function of time t is given by :

h=-16t^2+vt+h_0

Putting all the values,

h=-16t^2+60t+5 .....(1)

For maximum height, put

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0\\\\\dfrac{-16t^2+60t+5}{dt}=0\\\\-32t+60=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-60}{-32}\\\\t=1.875\ s

Put t = 1.875 in equation (1)

h=-16(1.875)^2+60(1.875)+5\\\\h=61.25\ m

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 61.25 m.

Given $dc = 7$, $cb = 8$, $ab = \frac{1}{4}ad$, and $ed = \frac{4}{5}ad$, find $fc$. Express your answer as a decimal.
Pachacha [2.7K]

A ↔ B ↔ C ↔ D ↔ E ↔ F

 \frac{1}{4} AD      8      7      \frac{4}{5} AD   ???

AB + BC + CD = AD   <em>segment addition postulate</em>

\frac{1}{4} AD   +   8   +   7   = AD

\frac{1}{4} AD   +       15        = AD

AD         + 60    = 4AD

                  60    = 3AD

                  20    = AD

AB =  \frac{1}{4} AD    =  \frac{1}{4}(20)    = 5

DE =  \frac{4}{5}AD   =  \frac{4}{5}(5)    = 4

CD + DE + EF = CF   <em>segment addition postulate</em>

7   +   4   + EF  = CF

     11        + EF  = CF

Answer: 11 + EF

Note: You did not provide any info about EF.  If you have additional information that you did not type in, calculate EF and add it to 11 to find the length of CF.
