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

VXYZ is a rectangle with a length of 20cm and a width of 12 cm. The length of the rectangle is increased by 30%. The width of th
katrin [286]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area is

length × width

increasing the length by 30% means multiplying the original length by 1.3.

increasing the width by 10% means multiplying the original width by 1.1.

so, the new area is (by using the old length and width)

length × 1.3 × width × 1.1 = length × width × 1.3×1.1 =

= old area × 1.3 × 1.1 = old area × 1.43

so, the area increases by 43%.

Y’all know this anything about this?
Andre45 [30]

We are given:

  • Parallelogram CDEF
  • ∠C = 13x - 10
  • ∠D = 5x + 10

To Find: ∠E

Concept Used:

  • Adjacent angles of a Parallelogram are Supplementary

Finding the value of 'x':

Since adjacent angles of a parallelogram are Supplementary:

∠D + ∠C = 180

5x + 10 + 13x - 10 = 180              [replacing the values of angle C and D]

18x = 180

x = 10                                          [dividing both sides by 18]

__________________________________________________________

Finding Measure of Angle D:

We are given that:

∠D = 5x + 10

∠D = 5(10) + 10                    [since x = 10]

∠D = 60°

__________________________________________________________

Finding the measure of ∠E:

∠D and ∠E are Adjacent angles

Since Adjacent angles are Supplementary:

∠D + ∠E = 180

60 + ∠E = 180

∠E = 120°                                  [subtracting 60 from both sides]

Hence, the measure of ∠E = 120°

On a map,1 in. represents 12 mi. Two cities are 6 1/2 in. on a map. How far apart are the actual cities? A. 78 mi B. 72 1/2 mi C
Dovator [93]
1 inch= 12 miles


Multiply 6 1/2 inches by total number of miles per 1 inch (12).

= 6 1/2 * 12
convert to improper fraction

= 13/2 * 12
multiply numerators

= (13*12)/2
multiply in parentheses

= 156/2
divide

= 78 miles


ANSWER: (A) 78 miles

Hope this helps! :)

Which line segment is drawn in the figure?<br><br> A.YZ<br> B.WY<br> C.XZ<br> D.WZ
Dima020 [189]
The line segment shown in the figure is C. XZ. A line segment is a line that is bounded by 2 endpoints, hence the line is not infinite. As shown in the figure, only points X and Z are visibly connected. There are no visible lines connecting the other points together.
