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,
16n = 3 x 736
16n = 2208
n = 138
Hence, the jar has 138 grams of zinc.
distance = 500 feet
Since Δ VWX and Δ YZX are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
=
completing the required values gives
=
( cross- multiply )
60l = 30 × 100 = 3000 ( divide both sides by 60 )
l = 500
distance across the swamp is 500 feet
Answer:
r = -
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of a GP is
= a₁
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 18 and a₆ = - , then
18 = -
( divide both sides by 18 )
= -
( take the fifth root of both sides )
r = = -
