Answer:

The metallurgist must use 20 kilograms of the metal alloy which is 20% copper and 80 kilograms of the metal alloy which is 65% copper.

Step-by-step explanation:

We call the alloy 20% copper.

We call the alloy 65% ​​copper.

Let's call the new version you want to create.

When mixing the M Alloy with the S you want to obtain 100 kg of the new alloy

M + S = 100    (i)

Then

0.2M + 0.65S = 100(0.56)    (ii)

We substitute (i) in (ii)

0.2(100-S) + 0.65S = 100(0.56)

20 - 0.2S + 0.65S = 56

0.45S = 36

S = \frac{36}{0.45}

S = 80 kg    (iii)

Now we substitute (iii) in (i)

M + 80 = 100

M = 20

Aneli [31]

Answer:

about 10 without a remainder of 4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, add up the number and divide by how many number you have (definition of mean). 8 + 25 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 1 all divide by 6 (since there are 6 numbers)

8 + 25 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 1 is 64.

64/6 is about 10 without a remainder of 4

Answer:

  A.  -2

  B.  -10

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line:

  -1/(1/2) = -2 . . . . slope of the perpendicular line

__

The y-intercept will let the given point satisfy the equation ...

  y = -2x +b

  2 = -2(-6) +b

  -10 = b . . . . . . . subtract 12. This is the y-intercept.

_____

The graph shows the two lines and the points they go through.

The frequency with which a cricket chirps varies directly with the temperature. If the cricket chirps 100 times per minute in 80
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The answer is: D) 115

The explanation is shown below:

1. You have that the frequency with which a cricket chirps varies directly with the temperature, which you can express it as following:

y=kx

Where y is the frequency with which a cricket chirps, x is the temperature and k is the constant of proportionality.

2.  If the cricket chirps 100 times per minute in 80° weather, you can calculate k as below:

k=\frac{100}{80}=1.25

3. Therefore, the frequency in 92° weather is:

y=1.25x\\y=(1.25)(92)\\y=115
