First you need to find the percent equivalent to that of the ratio. The ratio is 3:5. From there you would take the 3, and divide it by 5. 3/5=0.6. Apply that to the information that you are given: 8(0.6)=4.8.
I'm too late but here ya go anyway :)
x = 180 - (31 + 40) is the answer.
Answer:
Let x be the unknown quantity of 50% silver.
Look at the silver concentrations... This will be 0.5x of actual silver,
Added to 5% silver in 500g or 0.05(500)g of actual silver
Totaling to (500+x)g of 20% silver which will have 0.2(500+x)g of silver
Your equation is:
0.5x + 0.05(500) = 0.2(500+x)
Solve for x to find the grams of 50% silver used

Hey,
I could actually answer the question now, so I am going to put it here as well so the people don't have to read the comments above.
<span>Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse:<span>a² + b² = c²
5² + 5² = c²
25 + 25 = c²
50 = c²
√50=√(c^2 )
7.07 = c
Answer: 7
