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.

Perform the operation and reduce the answer fully. make sure to express the answer as a simplified fraction
Alik [6]

Answer:

\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{4}{3}

Required:

Simplify

SOLUTION:

\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{4}{3}

Turn the division operation to multiplication, and flip the fraction by your right upside down

\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}

4 cancels out 4

\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{1}

\frac{1 \times 3}{5 \times 1}

\frac{3}{5}

Therefore, \frac{4}{5} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{5}

What is factor form x^2-10x+25 show work
iogann1982 [59]

This trinomial is in a special form that can

be factored as the product of two binomials.

<h2>x² - 10x + 25</h2><h2 />

The first term in each binomial will be a factor of the x² term.

Since x² is just x · x, we use those as our first factors.

To factor this trinomial, we need factors of our constant that

add to the coefficient of the middle term in our trinomial.

So we're looking for factors of 25 that add to -10.

When your constant is positive and your middle term is negative,

you are going to use the negative factors of your constant term.

So the two numbers hat multiply to gives

us 25 and add to -10 are -5 and -5.

So our answer is (x - 5)(x - 5).

Jasmijn is a pet groomer. She charges n dollars to clip a dog's nails, w dollars to wash the dog and h dollars
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

4(n+w+h) and 4n+4w+4h

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price for each dog is n+w+h,

Then the price for 4 dogs would be 4 times the sum of n, w, and h:

4(n+w+h)

And can also be written as 4n+4w+4h using the distributive property.
