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

Answer:

26%

Step-by-step explanation:

345. 24 - 274 = 71.24

1 2 3 4 .... 1002 what is the sum of the sequence
Reika [66]
<span>As far as i know it is related to Gauss.
Write the sequences forward and backward first.

1 +2 +3 +.....+1002
1002+1001+1000+.....+1
--------------------------------------... Adding them
1003+1003+......(1002 times)
=1002x1003
But this contains the series twice.
So, the sum is = 1002x1003/2=501x1003=502503. answer</span>

Need help on any number cause it is due tomorrow
Savatey [412]
<span>I think the easiest way to answer all of these is to just go ahead and find the equation of the line first. 

I'm pretty sure that by the time you see this problem, you've learned how to find
the equation of a line that passes through two given points.  You have two points:  (2, 100) and (5, 205).  The equation of the line through them is
[ y = 35x + 30 ].  (That's the answer to #8.)

6).  The initial membership fee ... the cost for walking in the door and signing up,
before any months, is $30.  (Also the y-intercept.)

7).  The cost per month is $35.  (The slope of the line.)

8).  We already did that, up above.  [  y = 35x + 30 ].

9).  'x' in the equation is the number of months.
There are 12 months in one year.

y = 35(12) + 30 = $450</span>

If im was born on june 9th of 1993 from 2015 she still alive how old is she now?
Vladimir79 [104]
If you're born on June 9th in 1993, on June 9th in 2015 you would have your 22nd birthday (2015-1993=22).

So you're 22 years old, and, as of today, 17 days tool (22 years 17 days).
