Answer:

16 kg of I type and 64 kg of II type should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a metal alloy in original has 20% copper and 80% other metals.

Another mixture contains 60% copper and 40% other metals.

We have to get a new alloy of 80 kg which has 52% copper.

Let us assume that we mix x kg of I alloy and y kg of second alloy.

Then we have x+y = total weight = 80 kg.

x+y = 80   ... (i)

Next condition is that new alloy has 52% copper in it

When we mix x kg of I, and y kg of II, copper content would be

0.2x+0.6y.  This equals 52% of 80 = 41.6

Or Dividing by 0.2 we get

x+3y =208  ... (ii)

(ii)-(i) gives 2y = 128 or y =64 kg

x = 16 kg

16 kg of I type and 64 kg of II type should be mixed.

Verify:

Copper in new alloy = 16(0.2) + 64(0.6) = 3.2+38.4 = 41.6

= 52% of 80

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red balloons = 17

Number of purple balloons = 11

Number of orange balloons = 3

Number of green balloons = 1

Number of yellow balloons = 2

Total number of balloons = 34

The probability that a randomly selected balloon will be red will be:

= Number of red balloons/Total number of balloons

= 17/34

= 1/2

Alice and Bob play a game involving a circle whose circumference is divided by 12 equally-spaced points. The points are numbered
inn [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2005 AMC 8 Problems/Problem 20

Problem

Alice and Bob play a game involving a circle whose circumference is divided by 12 equally-spaced points. The points are numbered clockwise, from 1 to 12. Both start on point 12. Alice moves clockwise and Bob, counterclockwise. In a turn of the game, Alice moves 5 points clockwise and Bob moves 9 points counterclockwise. The game ends when they stop on the same point. How many turns will this take?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 6\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 8\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 12\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 14\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 24$

Solution

Alice moves $5k$ steps and Bob moves $9k$ steps, where $k$ is the turn they are on. Alice and Bob coincide when the number of steps they move collectively, $14k$, is a multiple of $12$. Since this number must be a multiple of $12$, as stated in the previous sentence, $14$ has a factor $2$, $k$ must have a factor of $6$. The smallest number of turns that is a multiple of $6$ is $\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 6}$.
