The jar has 138 grams of zinc.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that , In a certain chemical reaction, the ratio of zinc to copper is 3 to 16.  

A jar of the chemical contains 736 grams of copper.  

We have to find how many grams of zinc does it contain

Let "n" be the grams of zinc needed for 736 grams of copper  

Now, we know that,  

16 grams of copper ⇒ 3 grams of zinc

Then, 736 grams of copper ⇒ n grams of zinc

So, by criss cross multiplication,

n \times 16 = 3 \times 736

16n = 3 x 736

16n = 2208

n = 138

Hence, the jar has 138 grams of zinc.

madam [21]

Answer:

x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the axis of symmetry is between the 2 x intercepts, we can find it by finding the average of the x-coordinates of the 2 points.

(-7 + 10) / 2

3/2

= 1.5

So, the axis of symmetry is at x = 1.5

Ainat [17]

Step 1 = Distributive Property ( multiplying the 2 by each term in parenthesis)

Step 2 = Addition Property ( adding like terms)

Step 3 = Addition Property (adding 34x to each side)

Step 4 = Division Property. ( dividing both sides by 17)
