Let x represent the amount to be added. The total amount of tin will be
15%·20 + 10%·x = 12%·(20+x)
(15%-12%)·20 = (12%-10%)·x
3%·20/2% = x
30 = x
30 pounds of 10% tin must be added to get a 12% mixture.
We are given Elena’s bedroom door's width = 0.8 m.
Also the scale drawing is in the ratio of 1 to 50 that is 1/50.
<em>In order to find the width of scale drawing, we need to multiply original width of the door by 1/50.</em>
If we multiply 0.8 by 1/50, we get
0.8 × 1/50 = 0.8/50 = 0.016 meter.
So, we can say 0.016 meter wide should the door be on the scale drawing, if the ratio is 1 to 50.
There are 26 letters with 5 vowels. That is a 5/26 chance of randomly picking a vowel. Hope this is helpful!
Divide the miles by the gallons used for each car to find the miles per gallon, then compare them:
Blue car: 18 2/5 miles / 0.8 gallons = 23 miles per gallon.
Red car: 17 2/5 miles / 0.7 gallons = 24.86 miles per gallon.
The red car can travel farther on 1 gallon of gas.
