Ratio of Nickel to Zinc:

( 2/7 ) = ( Nickel /4.9)

Nickel = 1.4 lbs.

Ratio of Copper to Zinc:

( 9/7 ) = ( Copper /4.9)

Copper = 6.3 lbs.

Alloy = Zinc + Nickel + Copper

Alloy = 4.9 lbs. + 1.4 lbs. + 6.3 lbs.

Alloy = 12.6 lbs.

Hope this answer will be a good help for you.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

$0.90

Step-by-step explanation:

A 10-minute call exceeds the 3-minute initial period by 7 minutes. The initial period charge is 37¢. The additional minute charge is 7·9¢ = 63¢. Then the regular charge for that call is ...

37¢ +63¢ = 100¢ = $1.00

The 10% discount reduces the charge by ...

10% × $1.00 = $0.10

so the final cost of the 10-minute call is ...

$1.00 -0.10 = $0.90 . . . . . cost of the call

Verizon [17]

Answer:

$6:2,\,9:3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ratio of cups of sparkling water to cups of grape juice concentrate is $3:1$ in a recipe for fizzy grape juice.

To find: two more ratios of cups of sparkling water to cups of juice concentrate that would make a mixture that tastes the same as this recipe

Solution:

Equivalent ratios are the ratios that have the same value.

Find two ratios equivalent to $3:1=\frac{3}{1}$

Multiply both numerator and denominator of $\frac{3}{1}$ by 2

$\frac{3(2)}{1(2)} =\frac{6}{2}$

Multiply both numerator and denominator of $\frac{3}{1}$ by 3

$\frac{3(3)}{1(3)} =\frac{9}{3}$

So, two more ratios of cups of sparkling water to cups of juice concentrate that would make a mixture that tastes the same as this recipe are $6:2,\,9:3$
