18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy
Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy
Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:
x + y = 90
51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper
So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper
We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:
0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9
but
x + y = 90
x= 90 - y
substituting that value in for x
0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9
13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9
0.45y = 32.4
y = 72
Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:
x + y = 90
x= 90-72
x=18
Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.
Answer:
The data is skewed, and the lowest number of crackers in a package was 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
First of all, since the question was incomplete due to the missing capture of the range shown on the box plot. I attached it for you so I could answer your question as well.
Taking into consideration the attached image's information, symmetric would be right down the middle, but it is not.
The image shows that it is <em>positively skewed with the lowest number being 7.</em>
Answer:
<u><em>16 : 2 + 3 </em></u> (remember pemdas)
Step-by-step explanation:
Zoe is 16 years old. Her brother, Luke, is 3 years more than half her age. Write a numerical expression for Luke's age.
16 : 2 + 3 = 11
It is 784 cubic inches so you are right
