We have been given that a jeweler has 5 rings, each weighing 12 g, made of an alloy of 20% silver and 80% gold.
Upon melting all 5 rings, the weight of the material will be 12*5=60 grams.
We have been given that the alloy contains 20% silver and 80% gold. Further, let us assume that x grams of silver are added to the melted material so that it has 64% gold and 36% silver.
Therefore, we can set up an equation:
Therefore, we get an equation:
Therefore, 15 grams of silver must be added to the melted material in order to reduce the gold content to 64%.
12108 rounded to the nearest thousands is 12000
Answer:
1. 6
2. 1
3. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the GCF by finding the prime factorization of the numbers.
1. 12 and 18
12= 2*2*3
18=2*3*3
They both have 2 and 3 in common, so their GCF is 2*3 or 6.
2. 9 and 35
9= 3*3
35= 5*7
Although they don't have any prime numbers in common, all numbers have the factor one in common, so they're relatively prime but their GCF is 1.
3. 15 and 25
15 = 3*5
25= 5*5
They have one 5 in common so their GCF is 5.
