Answer:

112, 119 and 126.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive multiples of 7 be 7n, 7(n+1) and 7(n+2) where n is an integer, then:-

7n + 7n + 7 + 7n + 14 = 357

21n + 21 = 357

21(n + 1) = 357

n = (357/21) - 1

n = 17 + 1 = 16.

So the numbers are 7*16 = 112, 7*17 = 119 and 7*18 = 126.

Work out the unknown angles. Give reasons for each answer.

A)

Because the sum of angles in a triangle must equal 180° we can say:

62+α+90=180

α+152=180

α=28°

b)

Since all sides have equal length, all angles must have equal measure. (This is an equilateral triangle). And again, because the sum of the angle must be 180° we can say:

b+b+b=180

3b=180

b=60°

A coin contains 1.25 grams of nickel and 3.75 grams of copper, for a total weight of 5 grams. What percentage of the metal in th

otez555 [7]

So,

To find the percentage that the copper comprises, just divide the amount of copper by the total amount of metal in the coin. In this case, we will change the denominator so that it is 100, which can easily be converted into a percentage, which is really just a fraction out of 100.

$\frac{3.75}{5} = \frac{7.50}{10} = \frac{75}{100}$

75%

75% of the metal in the coin is copper.
