Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:
n = 600/5 = 120.
The proportion of gold bars is given by:
p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30
Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:
nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

No 12.14 is not bigger than 12.44
12.14 < 12.44
Answer:
<h2>
y = -¹/₄x - 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular then the product of theirs slopes is equal -1:
y=m₁x+b₁ ⊥ y=m₂x+b₂ ⇒ m₁×m₂ = -1
y = 4x - 2 ⇒ m₁=4
4×m₂ = -1 ⇒ m₂ = -¹/₄
The line y=-¹/₄x+b passes through point (4, -2) so the equation:
-2 = -¹/₄×4 + b must be true
-2 = -1 + b
b = -1
Therefore equation in slope-intercept form:
y = -¹/₄x - 1
Hello!
X and Y intercepts are found when graphing an equation. You know the X and Y intercepts by when a point crosses the X axis, and for the Y intercept, when a point crosses the Y axis.
First off we must simplify the equation.
4y + 12 = -2x - 12
Here is the photo of the graph attached.
By looking at the graph we can see the answer is...
X intercept = (-12,0)
Y intercept = (0,-6)
