Answer:
A 1:6
Step-by-step explanation:
3:18 simply to 1:6
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
1.8 - 0.2x = -1.6 Subtract 1.8 on both sides
1.8 - 1.8 - 0.2x = -1.6 - 1.8
-0.2x = -3.4 Divide -0.2 on both sides
x = 17
5/21 is a repeating decimal but the first digits are 0.238095
Answer:
(A)129 Pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of 23% zink alloy
Therefore:
Since the total result is 516 pounds
The number of pounds of 42% zink alloy =516-x pounds
We then have the resulting equation:
0.23x+0.42(516-x)=0.3725*516
0.23x+216.72-0.42x=192.21
Colect like terms
0.23x-0.42x=192.21-216.72
-0.19x=-24.51
Divide both sides by 129
x=129 pounds
Therefore, the number of pounds of 23% zink alloy that must be mixed is 129 pounds.
