Answer:

The total weight of the metal bar in pounds is 25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we have a metal bar which has a content of 60% zinc corresponding to 15 pounds.

Mathematically, let’s say the total weight of the metal composite is x pounds. It is 60% of this that is 15 pounds which is the content of the zinc

Mathematically;

60/100 * x = 15

60x = 15 * 100

60x = 1500

x = 1500/60

x = 25 pounds

Answer:

x = 120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

angle below x is 40 degrees because it is a corresponding angle.

x = 180 - 40 - 20 = 120 degrees

A woman jogs for 2 km at 8 km/h and then walks for 2 km
Artemon [7]

Answer:

  6 6/7 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The relations between speed, time, and distance are ...

  time = distance/speed

  speed = distance/time

__

So, to find the average speed, we need to know the total distance and the total time. The distances are given, but we need to compute the times.

  time jogging = (2 km)/(8 km/h) = 1/4 h

  time walking = (2 km)/(6 km/h) = 1/3 h

Then the woman's average speed is ...

  average speed = (total distance)/(total time) = (2 km + 2 km)/(1/4 h + 1/3 h)

  = (4 km)/(7/12 h) = 48/7 km/h

  = 6 6/7 km/h

A consumer group is interested in estimating the proportion of packages of ground beef sold at a particular store that have an a
storchak [24]

Answer:  267.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is no prior information for the population proportion, then the formula we use to find the sample size to estimate the confidence interval :

n=0.25(\dfrac{z^*}{E})^2 , where z* = Critical z-value and E + amrgin of error.

Let p = proportion of packages of ground beef sold at a particular store that have an actual fat content exceeding the fat content stated on the label.

Since , we have no prior information about p. so we use above formula

with E = 0.06 and critical value for 95% confidence =z* =1.96  [By z-table ] , we get

n=0.25(\dfrac{1.96}{0.06})^2=0.25(32.6666)^2\\\\=(0.25)(1067.111111)\\\\=266.777777778\approx267

Hence, the required sample size is 267.

Find two positive numbers satisfying the given requirements. the product is 192 and the sum of the first plus three times the se
Zepler [3.9K]
<h3>Given</h3>

Two positive numbers x and y such that xy = 192

<h3>Find</h3>

The values that minimize x + 3y

<h3>Solution</h3>

y = 192/x . . . . . solve for y

f(x) = x + 3y

f(x) = x + 3(192/x) . . . . . the function we want to minimize

We can find the x that minimizes of f(x) by setting the derivative of f(x) to zero.

... f'(x) = 1 - 576/x² = 0

... 576 = x² . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by x², add 576

... √576 = x = 24 . . . . . . . take the square root

... y = 192/24 = 8 . . . . . . . find the value of y using the above equation for y

The first number is 24.

The second number is 8.
