Answer:

30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of 1 kg 23% copper bars, and y is the number of 1 kg 79% copper bars, then:

x + y = 48

0.23x + 0.79y = 0.44(48)

Substituting and solving:

0.23x + 0.79(48-x) = 0.44(48)

0.23x + 37.92 - 0.79x = 21.12

16.8 = 0.56x

x = 30

y = 48 - x

y = 18

You need 30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars.

Order these numbers from least to greatest.<br> 3.195, 67/20, 3.19, 3 1/3
galina1969 [7]
The numbers from least to greatest are 3.19, 3.195, 3 1/3, and 67/20. This is because 67/20 is equivalent to 3.35 in decimal form, which is greater than all of the other numbers, including 3 1/3, which is 3.3333.

Marco earns $36.50 per hour show that the relationship between the amount he earns and the number of hours he works is proportio
Korolek [52]

To establish this equation we first need to assign some variables.

Let us assign x as the number of hours he has worked

and assign y as the total amount of money that he has earned

Therefore the equation y=36.50x is the equation that correctly represents how much money he makes regardless of how many hours he works.  Just plug in how many hours you want for x and then solve the equation and you will get how much money he makes in x amount of hours.  This is also proportional because for every hour that he works he gets the same salary of 36.50.  It is proportional because no matter how many hours he works the salary will go up the same amount for each extra hour he works.  The proportion is 36.50 dollars per hour worked.
