10.5 lb
You can look at the question as 5.25% of 200 pounds. The "of" means to multiply so you would multiply 5.25% by 200. 5.25% can be written as 0.0525(dividing by 100, since percent is of 100).

0.0525*200=10.5 lb

Find 5.25% of 200
remember
1% of 100=1
therefor
1% of 200=2
just remove the decimal and double it (for this special case of finding percent of 200)

5.25% of 200=5.25 times 2=10.5
answer is 10.5 pounds of copper
(the legit way is 0.0525 times 200=10.5 pound)

10.5lb is answer

What is the solution to the following system of equations? x − 4y = 6 2x + 2y = 12 (0, 10) (10, 0) (6, 0) (0, 6)

frozen [14]

Answer:

(6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system has equations:

$x-4y=6$

$2x+2y=12$

Multiply the top equation by 2 to get:

$2x-8y=12$

$2x+2y=12$

Subtract the top equation form the bottom equation to get:

$2x-2x+2y--8y=12-12$

$\implies 10y=0$

$\implies y=0$

Put y=0 into $x-4y=6$

$x-4*0=6$

$\implies x=6$

Therefore the solution is (6,0)

In a collision, a 5 kg mass moving at 2m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 1 kg mass. What is the velocity of the 1kg mass af

statuscvo [17]

Answer:
velocity = 10 m/sec in the same direction as the first body did

Explanation:
The momentum of the body can be calculated as follows:
momentum = mass * velocity

For the first body, we have:
mass = 5 kg
velocity = 2 m/sec
momentum = mass * velocity
momentum = 5 * 2 = 10 kg.m/sec

We know that this momentum is transferred completely to the second body

For the second bode, we have:
momentum = 10 Kg.m/sec
mass = 1 kg
momentum = mass * velocity
10 = 1 * velocity
velocity = 10/1
velocity = 10 m/sec

Finally, we should get the direction of the motion:
Both the velocity of the first and second bodies have positive values. Therefore, the second body is moving in the same direction as the first body did.

Hope this helps :)

Nick starts with 20 milligrams of a radioactive substance. The amount of the substance decreases by 14 each week for a number of

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Eric's expression is :

$20(\frac{1}{4})^w$

and Andrea's is :

$(1-0.5)^w$

In Eric's expression, 20 represents the initial amount of substance with which he has started the experiment. $\thinspace \frac{1}{4}\thinspace$ is the amount of substance left after each time period (in this case, each week).The variable w in this case represents the number of weeks.

Andrea's expression can be written as :

$1\cdot (1-0.5)^w$

The one outside of parentheses represents the initial amount of the substance. The one inside of parentheses represents 100% of the original amount of the substance. 0.5 represents the 50% of the substance that is lost each time period. The variable w in this case represents the number of weeks.
