Answer:

64% of the metal in the coin is copper.

Step-by-step explanation:

A coin contains nickel = 9 grams

and copper = 16 grams.

Total weight of the coin = 16 + 9 = 25 grams

Now we have to calculate the percentage of copper in the coin.

Therefore, $\frac{16}{25}$ × 100

= 0.64 × 100

= 64%

Hence 64% of the metal in the coin is copper.

To find the percentage, we take the amount of copper and divide it by the total weight. In this case, there are 16 grams of copper.

16/25 is 0.64.

The answer is 64 percent.

In a game called Taxation and Evasion, a player rolls a pair of dice. If, on any turn, the sum is 7, 11, or 12, the player gets

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{243}{1024}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Sum = \{7, 11, 12\}$

$Rolls = 5$

Required

Probability of not getting audited

If a pair of dice is rolled, the following are the observations of the sum

$Outcomes = 36$

$Sum\ of\ 7 = 6$

$Sum\ of\ 11 = 2$

$Sum\ of\ 12 = 1$

So, in a single roll; The probability of getting audited is:

$p= \frac{1 + 2 + 6}{36}$

$p= \frac{9}{36}$

$p= \frac{1}{4}$

The probability of not getting audited in a single roll is:

$q = 1 - p$ --- Complement rule

$q = 1 - \frac{1}{4}$

Take LCM

$q = \frac{4 - 1}{4}$

$q = \frac{3}{4}$

The probability of not getting audited in 5 rolls is:

$Probability = q^5$

$Probability = (\frac{3}{4})^5$

$Probability = \frac{3^5}{4^5}$

$Probability = \frac{243}{1024}$

Mr. Hernandez's backyard is shaped like a trapezoid with a height of 10 m, a top base of 15 m, and a bottom base of 19 m. In his

Zolol [24]

The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where A is area, b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values,
A = 0.5(15 m + 19 m)(10 m)
A = 170 m²
The area of the garden is 170 m².

Answer:

$f(x)=5120(5)^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, f(x) and x are rlated by

$f(x)=a( {b})^{x}$

where b is the common ratio

We first find the value for b

$\frac{6400}{5120}= 5$

$\frac{8000}{6400}= 5$

$\frac{10000}{8000} = 5$

$\frac{12500}{10000} = 5$

$\frac{15625}{12500}=5$

so we can say the common ratio, b=5

we put in any value of f(x) and the corresponding value for x to find a value

Let put x=0 and f(x)=5120

This implies that

$5120 = a(5)^{0}$

but

$5^{0} = 1$

Hence a=5120

Thus the equation which model the relationship between the weeks and the viewers is

$f(x)=5120(5)^{x}$
