Answer:
5/10
Step-by-step explanation:
5/10 as a decimal is 0.5, and 40/100 as a decimal is 0.4 (or 0.50 and 0.40, it doesnt make a difference) which means 5/10 is bigger
Let L be the low copper alloy and H be the high copper alloy.
We need 0.15L + 0.60H = 0.42 and L + H = 100
L=100 - H
Substituting this into the second equation for L, we get:
0.15(100-H) + 0.60H = 0.42(H+L)
15 - 0.15H + 0.60H = 0.42(H+100-H)
15 + 0.45H = 0.42(100)
0.45H = 42 - 15 = 27
H = 27/.45 = 60 lbs
Back substitution, L = 40 lbs.
First of all, I like the name "westside" for a bakery. :)
OK, so, you can make a proportion for this problem.
440 lbs.= 1000 cakes.
? unknown = 1 cake.
440 divided by 1000 = 0.44 pounds
No because the x and y axis are not suppose to be the same
the triangle formed by sides 10, 9 and 15 units can't be a right angled triangle, because they doesn't form the pythagorean triplet, that is the sum of squares of the smaller sides isn't equal to the square of largest side,
sum of squares of smaller sides
=》

=》

=》

now, square of largest side (hypotenuse)
=》

=》

they aren't equal, proved
