Answer:

The weight of one gold brick is 15 ounces and the weight of one silver brick is 22 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weight of 5 silver bricks and 2 gold bricks = 119 ounces.

And Weight of 4 silver bricks and 11 gold bricks = 302 ounces.

We have to find out weight of each type of brick.

Solution,

Let the weight of 1 silver brick be x.

And the weight of 1 gold brick be y.

Since the weight of 5 silver bricks and 2 gold bricks is 119 ounces.

So we can frame it in equation as;

5x+2y=119\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Again,

The weight of 4 silver bricks and 11 gold bricks is 302 ounces.

So we can frame it in equation as;

4x+11y=302\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

Now, multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5 we get;

4(5x+2y)=119\times4\\\\20x+8y=476\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

5(4x+11y)=302\times5\\\\20x+55y=1510\ \ \ equation\ 4

Now subtract equation 3 from equation 4, we get;

(20x+55y)-(20x+8y)=1510-476\\\\20x+55y-20x-8y=1034\\\\47y=1034\\\\y=\frac{1034}{47}\\\\y=22

On substituting yhe value of y in equation 1, we get;

5x+2y=119\\\\5x+2\times22=119\\\\5x+44=119\\\\5x=119-44=75\\\\x=\frac{75}{5}\\\\x=15

Thus the weight of one gold brick is 15 ounces and the weight of one silver brick is 22 ounces.

How is a rational number converted to its decimal form?
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Answer to first question is:

You can convert all fractions to decimals. The decimal forms of rational numbers either end or repeat a pattern. If the fraction is a mixed number, change it to an improper fraction. Divide the numerator by the denominator. If the division doesn't come out evenly, round the decimal off.

Answer to second question is: 0.222222

Answer to third question is: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the way I think of it is:

3/9 as a fraction is 1/3... so 1 divided by 3 equals 0.333333 repeating. You can even write it as:

   _

0.3 with the fraction bar over it because it keeps repeating.

This goes for 2/9. All you have to do is do 2 divided by 9 and you get 0.222222 repeating. You can even write it as:

<h3>   _</h3>

0.2 with the fraction bar over it because it keeps repeating.

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;

What is the 8th term of the binomial expansion (x + y)10?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

120x^3y^7

We can use the Pascal's triangle to solve this question.

This pascal's triangle is shown in the Image below. To build the triangle, begin with the number 1 at the top, then continue placing numbers below it in a triangular pattern. In this way, each number are the numbers directly above added together. So, the expression is :

(x+y)10

After you do the steps you be left with:

120x^3y^7
