She can use 68 + 20 = 88 to help by noticing that the 20 is ahead of 19 by 1. She can easily mentally turn the 20 into a 19 and realized that the 88 would become 87.
Since Sylvanite only contains 28% gold by mass, then to obtain 81.0 grams of gold, x amounts of sylvanite must be mined. To determine x, we divide 81 grams by 28%. This equation is shown below:
0.28X = 81
X = 81/0.28
X = 289.29 grams
Therefore, 289.29 grams of sylvanite must be dug up to obtain 81 grams of gold.
Put 16 where n is, then do the arithmetic.
... a(16) = -6 + 3(16 -1)
... a(16) = -6 + 45
... a(16) = 39
Step-by-step explanation:
2a - 7 - 6a = 9
- 4a - 7 = 9
- 4a = 16
a = -4
Answer:
The savings of Sid and Tim will be in 17:9 in 6 weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial savings of Sid = £ 13
Initial savings of Tim = £ 0
For each successive week Sid saved = £ 3.5
For each successive week Tim saved = £ 3
Let us assume that after "x weeks" the amounts of Sid and Tim are in ratio 17:9.
If Sid saves £ 3.5 in one week, in x weeks he will £ 3.5x. Since he had £ 13 initially, total amount he would have in x weeks will be £ (13 + 3.5x)
If Time saves £ 3 one week, in x weeks he will save £ 3x. Since, he didn't have any money initially, in x weeks he would have saved £ 3x
The ratio of their savings in x weeks would be 17:9
So,
Sid's saving : Tim's saving = 17 : 9
Using the values of expressions, we get:

This means, the savings of Sid and Tim will be in 17:9 in 6 weeks.
