Answer:

0.32 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of weight of -copper, zinc, manganese, and nickel = 177:12:7:4

let the

weight of copper = 177x

weight of zinc = 12x

weight of manganese = 7x

weight of nickel = 4x

Total weight of this alloy in terms of x =  177x + 12x+ 7x + 4x = 300x

given weight of alloy = 8 grams

thus,

weight of this alloy in terms of x =given weight of alloy

300x = 8 grams

x = 8/300 grams =

weight of zinc = 12x = 12 * 8/300 grams = 96/300 grams = 0.32 grams

DENIUS [597]

You need to determine how much paper you need to cover the lateral side of the cylinder shown in the picture. For this, you have to calculate the surface area of the cylinder, which you can do using the following formula:

A=2\pi rh

Where

A is the area

π is the number pi, for the calculations we usually use up to the first two decimal values of this number, 3.14

r is the radius

h is the height of the cylinder

The given cylinder has a height of h=15m and a diameter of d=6m

To calculate the lateral area you need to use the radius. The diameter is twice the radius, so to determine the radius of the cylinder you have to divide the diameter by 2

\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2} \\ r=\frac{6}{2} \\ r=3 \end{gathered}

Now you can calculate the lateral area as follows:

\begin{gathered} A=2\pi rh \\ A=2\cdot3.14\cdot3\cdot15 \\ A=282.6m^2 \end{gathered}

Charlie will need 282.6 m² to cover the lateral side of the cylinder.

Which point on the number line is located at approximately 13/17
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
A number line consists only of one axis, conventionally a horizontal axis. Just create a line, and scale it according to practicality and your preference. Usually, it has an interval of 1 unit. But for this case, since it is in fraction form, the interval should be smaller so that you can see clearly where it is located. 

In decimal form, 13/17 is equal to 0.7647058824. Let's just round this off to 0.764, that can suffice already. So, you would expect it to be between 0.7 and 0.8 on the number line. Just estimate visually where it is located. Since, it is more than 0.75, the dot would be just slightly closer to 0.8 than 0.7. The exact location is shown in the attached picture.
