Answer:

60 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

For these type of questions, we can equate the ratio with the actual amounts. We will let the quantity to find be an unknown variable, such as x. Then we equate the ratios, cross multiply, and use algebra to solve.

Let grams of zinc be "x", so we can write the ratios and actual amounts as:

\frac{3}{16}=\frac{x}{320}

Then we cross multiply and solve for x, what we want to find out. Shown below:

\frac{3}{16}=\frac{x}{320}\\16x =3 * 320\\16x = 960\\x = \frac{960}{16}\\x=60

There are 60 grams of zinc.

Nationwide, it is estimated that 40% of service stations have gas tanks that leak to some extent. A new program in California is
fredd [130]

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= -1.496 does not fall in the critical region z < -1.645 we conclude that the new program is effective. We fail to reject the null hypothesis .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion is p2= 7/27= 0.259

and q2= 0.74

The sample size = n= 27

The population proportion = p1= 0.4

q1= 0.6

We formulate the null and alternate hypotheses that the new program is effective

H0: p2> p1   vs  Ha: p2 ≤ p1

The test statistic is

z= p2- p1/√ p1q1/n

z= 0.259-0.4/ √0.4*0.6/27

z=  -0.141/0.09428

z= -1.496

The significance level ∝ is 0.05

The critical region for one tailed test is z ≤ ± 1.645

Since the calculated value of z= -1.496 does not fall in the critical region z < -1.645 we conclude that the new program is effective. We fail to reject the null hypothesis .

Indicate below wether the equation in the box is true or false 6/12= 1/3
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

6/12 simplifies into 1/2 (six is half of twelve) and 1/2 does not equal 1/3.

You can also plug this into a calculator and see that 6/12=0.5 and 1/3=0.333

Find (3) if<br> f(x)=x2 + 2x2-x-1
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

f(3)=23

Step-by-step explanation:

By evaluating first, and then the mathematical calculation, we have:

f(3)= 3^{2} + 2 ×3^{2} - 3 -1 

= 9 +18 -3-1  

= 23

Calculate the value of the exterior angle
aev [14]

What we know is that the sum of a triangle's internal angles are 180º, and a straight angle makes 180º.

first, we have to find the third internal angle(let's call it n) so that we can use it to find the exterior angle.

(3x + 20) + (4x + 5) + n = 180

simplify:

7x + 25 + n = 180

7x + n = 155

n = 155 - 7x

Now we can add it to the external angle to find x.

(155 - 7x) + (8x + 15) = 180

simplify:

170 + 8x - 7x = 180

170 + x = 180

x = 10

Now we can substitute it to the external angle.

8 x 10 + 15 = 95

the exterior angle is 95º.
