Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Although you have not been provided with direct masses, you can use the percentage composition values in place of masses.

First, calculate the number of moles of each element:

This is the formula for the ionic compound calcium carbonate, confirming that our result is indeed in the magnitude of a plausible answer. In fact, given the fact that calcium carbonate is ionic, it is also true that this empirical formula equates to the unit formula of the compound.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Farmer Anne's land = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 1,557 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Total acre = 2,249

Let

Farmer Anne's land = x

Farmer Cassius = 3x

Farmer Mel = 3(3x) = 9x

x + 3x + 9x = 2,249

13x = 2,249

x = 173

Farmer Anne's land = x = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 3x

= 3(173)

= 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 3(3x) = 9x

= 9(173)

= 1,557 acres

Therefore,

Farmer Anne's land = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 1,557 acres

B. since it is a line HGJ =180-40
HGJ= 140°
C. tangents to circles have equal lengths if they intercept the way gd and gf do eachother
set the lengths equal to themselves
4x+5=6x-8
-4x both sides
5=2x-8
+8 both sides
13=2x
÷2 both sides
x=13/2 or 6.5
Plug in
4 (6.5)+5=
