Answer:

x = 0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{.15}{100}  = \frac{x}{140}

.15(140) = 100x

21 = 100x

x = 0.21

A metallurgist has an alloy with 5​% titanium and an alloy with 25​% titanium. He needs 100 grams of an alloy with 13​% titanium
Nimfa-mama [501]
So... the alloy with 5% titanium is ...some  alloy :), so is a mixed metal and among its mix it has 5% of titanium, it has other metals, but only 5% is titanium.

that means that if the amount of it is say "x", then the amount of titanium in it will be 5% or (5/100) * x, or 0.05x.

now, the 25% titanium, is the same issue, if say a quantity of "y" will only have 25% of titanium, regardless of other metals, so in "y" there is 25% or (25/100) * y, or 0.25y.

so, we need a mixture that yields only a 13% alloy, or 13/100, and will be 100 grams, so the amount of titanium in it will then be (13/100) * 100 or 13.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{grams}{amount}&\stackrel{\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{concentrated}{quantity}\\
\textit{5\% alloy}&x&0.05&0.05x\\
\textit{25\% alloy}&y&0.25&0.25y\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&100&0.13&13
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+y=100\implies \boxed{y}=100-x\\
0.05x+0.25y=13\\
----------\\
0.05x+0.25\left( \boxed{100-x} \right)=13
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.05x-0.25x+25=13\implies -0.20x=-12\implies x=\cfrac{-12}{=0.20}
\\\\\\
x=\stackrel{grams}{60}

how much of the 25% alloy will be needed?  well, y = 100 - x.

Common factor for 405
melamori03 [73]

"Common" means "same for both" or "same for all".

There's nothing common about a single item.  There's no such thing
as a "common"factor unless there are at least two numbers.

A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle, with a base of 15 feet and a height of 9 feet. What is the area of the flower bed?
Mama L [17]
Okay so the formula for this is going to be 1/2*base*height. The * means multiply.

so to do it easily lets start with the whole numbers.
15*9=135
so we take that and divide it by two because that it the same as multiplying by 1/2
135/2=The area will be 67.5!!!
Hope this helps you
