You just have to multiply straight across. Multiply the numerators for the new numerator, and the denominators for the new denominator.
5*3=15
4*8=32
15/32 is the answer (b).
Answer:
20kg of 25% copper alloy
30kg of 60% copper alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 kinds of metal, first metal(A) have 25% copper while the second metal(B) has 60% copper. The metalworker want to create 50kg of metal, which means the total weight of both metals is 50kg (A+B = 50). The metalworker also want the metal made of a 46% which is 23kg(0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46*50). From these sentences, we can derive 2 equations. We can solve this with substitution.
A+B = 50
A= 50-B
Let's put the first equation into the second.
0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46 *50
0.25(50-B) + 0.6B =23
12.5 - 0.25B + 0.6B =23
0.35B=23 -12.5
B= 10.5/ 0.35= 30
Then we can solve A
A= 50-B
A= 50-30
A=20
Answer:
290ft
Step-by-step explanation:
First, add 40 and 50 together to get the side across giving you 90.
Next, take 60 and subtract 25 for the oposite side giving you 25.
Finally, add all sides together to get 290.
The circumference of a circle is calculated through the equation,
C = 2πr
where C is circumference and r is radius. For this item, I assume that 12 in is the radius such that,
C = 2π(12 in) = 24π
Thus, the circumference of the circle is 24π inches.
