A 5.5 g sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance. The rest is mad

e of oxygen. You are asked to determine the mass of oxygen in the sample. Which of the following expressions demonstrates a mathematical procedure to solve this problem using the proper order of operations? A 5.5 sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35 of the mass of the substance. The rest is made of oxygen. You are asked to determine the mass of oxygen in the sample. Which of the following expressions demonstrates a mathematical procedure to solve this problem using the proper order of operations? 100−(35/100)×5.5grams= ((100−35)/100)×5.5grams= 100−35/100×5.5grams= *Recall that to calculate a percent of an amount in grams means you have to convert the percent to a number and multiply by the amount in grams. For example, 50% means 50 out of 100, or 50 hundredths. So 50% of 10 grams is 0.50 times 10 grams. You need to take 0.50 and multiply it by 10 grams to determine 50% of 10 grams is 5.0. (50% and 10 grams are examples and not numbers for this problem.)

Answer:

  ((100−35)/100)×5.5 grams =

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can do this. The equation above shows you subtracting 35% from 100% before you convert the result to a fraction. That is an appropriate expression for solving the problem.

___

The other offered choices do not respect either the order of operations or the units of the problem. (The first and third choices are the same--both wrong.)

Forces with magnitudes of 2000 newtons and 900 newtons act on a machine part at angles of +30degrees and -45degrees respectively
mote1985 [20]

To get the resultant magnitude and direction of the forces we need to separate the force into its x and y components. For the x components it is the sum of 2000cos(30) and 900cos(45), which is 2368.4469 N. For the y components it will be the sum of 2000sin(30) and -900sin(45), the value for the second force is negative because it is pointing downwards, their sum would be 363.6038 N. The magnitude for the resultant force can be determined using the pythagorean theorem R=sqrt(2368.4469^2 + 363.6038^2) while its direction is found using tan^-1(363.6038/2368.4469). The final answer would be 2396.1946 N with an angle of 8.7279 degrees from the right side of x axis.
