A sample of iron ore was found to contain 44% iron by weight. How many pounds of iron are in 450LBS of this ore?

1 answer:

6 0

So to set this problem up lets understand it.
each percent is out of a whole (100%)
so the whole in this problem is 450 pounds
and to make 44% a usable number we move the percent sign two places over.
.44
to find out how many times .44 goes into 450 pounds we will multiply
(.44×450)=198 pounds
we can check our answer by dividing 198÷450
and getting .44 as our answer

NARA [144]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute parenthesis and collect like terms, noting that the second parenthesis is distributed by - 1

(4x² - 8xy +2y²) - (9x² - 4xy - 7y²)

= 4x² - 8xy + 2y² - 9x² + 4xy + 7y² ← collect like terms

= (4x² - 9x²) + (- 8xy + 4xy) + (2y² + 7y²)

= - 5x² - 4xy + 9y² → b
