a metal worker has a metal alloy that is 20% copper, and another metal alloy that is 60% copper. How many kilograms (kg) of each

allow should the metal worker combine to create 80kg of aa 52% copper alloy?

Let X = the 29% alloy and Y = the 60% alloy.

They want a total of 80kg, so you have X +Y = 80

Rewrite that to get X = 80-Y

You also want 0.20X + 0.60Y = 0.52(80)

Replace X with 80-y:

0.20(80-y) + 0.60y = 0.52(80)

Simplify:

16 - 0.20y + 0.60y = 41.6

Combine like terms:

16 +0.40y = 41.6

Subtract 16 from each side:

0.40y = 25.6

Divide both sides by 0.40

y = 25.6 / 0.40

y = 64

Now you have Y replace y with 80 in X = 80-Y

X = 80 - 64

X = 16

They need 64 Kg of the 60% alloy and 16 Kg of the 20% alloy.

Answer:

Part 3)

$x=6\ units$

$y=3\ units$

Part 4) $x=18\sqrt{2}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 3)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the value of x

In the right triangle of the figure we know that

The cosine of angle of 30 degrees is equal to the adjacent side to angle of 30 degrees divide by the hypotenuse

so

$cos(30\°)=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{x}$

and remember that

$cos(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

substitute

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{x}$

Simplify

$x=(2*3)=6\ units$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the value of y

In the right triangle of the figure we know that

The sine of angle of 30 degrees is equal to the opposite side to angle of 30 degrees divide by the hypotenuse

so

$sin(30\°)=\frac{y}{x}$

and remember that

$sin(30\°)=\frac{1}{2}$

substitute

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{y}{6}$

$y=6/2=3\ units$

Part 4) Find the value of x

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$x^{2} =18^{2} +18^{2} \\ \\x^{2} = 324+324\\ \\x^{2}=648\\ \\x=\sqrt{648}\ units$

Simplify

$x=18\sqrt{2}\ units$

Graph the following inequality. Then click to show the correct graph. x < -1

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x < -1

The solution is the interval ----> (-∞,-1)

All real numbers less than -1

On a number line the solution is the shaded area at the left of x=-1 (open circle)

using a graphing tool

Laine reads 25 pages in 30 minutes. If Laine reads 200 pages at this same rate, how long will it take her?

irinina [24]

Well think about it

50 pages = 1 hour (60 mins)

so it would take laine 4 hours in total to read 200 pages at the rate

hope that helps :)

A figure is composed of a semicircle and a right triangle. Determine the area of the shaded region. Use 3.14 for π and round to

Aliun [14]

Answer:

$A=9.5\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of triangle plus the area of semicircle

so

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh+\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}$

we have

$b=4\ ft$

Find the height of the right triangle applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$5^2=h^2+4^2$

$h^2=9\\h=3\ ft$

The radius of the semicircle is half the height of triangle

$r=3/2=1.5\ ft$

substitute in the formula

$A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(3)+\frac{1}{2}(3.14)(1.5)^{2}$

$A=6+3.5=9.5\ ft^2$

Ethan throws a ball into the air from a cliff that is 152.4 m high with an initial velocity of 4 m/s. How long does it take for

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

38.1 seconds I believe simply divide 4m/s into 152.4 m and you will have 38.1 seconds
