Answer:

W = 9.33 grams

X = 4.67 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Mass of Z to be made = 14 grams

Composition of Z

W:X:Y = 2:1:3

To make 6 grams of Y requires 4 grams of W and 2 grams of X

Composition of Y (for 6grams)

W:X = 4:2 = 2:1

Substituting the composition of Y to Z

Z = W:X:Y = 2:1:3

Z = W:X:W:X = 2:1:2:1

summing them up, we have;

Z = W:X = 4:2 = 2:1

Since the final mixing ratio for W and X are 2:1, to make 14 grams of Z, we need;

W = 2/3 × 14grams = 28/3 grams

W = 9.33 grams

X = 1/3 × 14grams = 14/3 grams

X = 4.67 grams

the sum of the lengths of the sides of a rectangle is represented by 32 feet. the width of the rectangle measures 9 feet. what i
Marina CMI [18]
-- A rectangle has 4 sides.

-- Each side has the same length as the side directly across from it.

-- So there are two sides that are both the width of the rectangle,
and another two sides that are both the length of the rectangle.

-- In this particular rectangle, when you add up all four sides,
the sum is 32 feet.

-- The width of the rectangle is 9 feet.  So there are two sides that are
both 9 feet.  When you add those up, you have 18 feet.

-- The REST of the 32 feet belongs to the other two sides.
That much is (32 - 18) = 14 feet.  That's what the other two
sides add up to when you add them.

-- The other two sides are equal.  So each of them is half of 14 = 7 feet .

This rectangle, or the description of it, is slightly weird.
The length of the rectangle is shorter than the width.
But that's OK.  Two sides are 9 feet, and two sides are 7 feet, and
when you add them all up, you get 32 feet, so our solution is correct.
Let them call the sides anything they want to.

What is the vector sum of (7,5) and (13,-5)
kolezko [41]

The vector sum of  two vectors as (7,5) and (13,-5) is given by v_1+v_2=20i+0j which can be written in point form as  (20,0) .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , two vectors as (7,5) and (13,-5) Which are represented as :

v_1=7i+5j\\v_2=13i-5j

Addition of vector is as same as normal addition of integers as :

⇒ v_1+v_2=7i+5j+(13i-5j)

⇒ v_1+v_2=(7+13)i+(5-5)j

⇒ v_1+v_2=20i+0j ,

where i & j are the unit vectors in direction x-axis and y-axis respectively.

The vector sum of  two vectors as (7,5) and (13,-5) is given by v_1+v_2=20i+0j which can be written in point form as  (20,0) .
