Let x represent the amount to be added. The total amount of tin will be
  15%·20 + 10%·x = 12%·(20+x)
  (15%-12%)·20 = (12%-10%)·x
  3%·20/2% = x
  30 = x

30 pounds of 10% tin must be added to get a 12% mixture.

lana [24]

Answer:

A 5.5% = 5400 B 5% = 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 7200

A * 0.055 + B * 0.05 = $387

A = 7200 - B

(7200 - B)*0.055 + B*0.05 = 387

396 - 0.055B + 0.05B = 387

396 - 0.005B = 387

0.005B = 9

B = 1800

A = 7200 - B = 7200 - 1800

A = 5400

Which pairs of quadrilaterals can be shown to be congruent using
Zielflug [23.3K]

Rigid transformation do not alter the sides and angle measurements of a shape.

The true statements are:

  • <em>quadrilateral 1 and  quadrilateral 2 - Not congruent </em>
  • <em>quadrilateral 1 and  quadrilateral 3 - Not congruent </em>
  • <em>quadrilateral 1 and  quadrilateral 4 - Not congruent </em>
  • <em>quadrilateral 2 and  quadrilateral 3 - Congruent </em>

<em />

From the graph, we have the following highlights

  • Quadrilaterals 2, 3 and 4 are congruent
  • Quadrilateral 1 does not have equal measure with any of the other quadrilaterals.

Hence, the first three statements are not congruent, while the last statement is congruent.

Kira runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 35 minutes?
SashulF [63]

Answer: She runs about 4.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

6/50 = x/35

6*35 = 50*x

210 = 50x

50x = 210

x = 210/50

x = 4.2
