We are given ratio nickel to zinc to copper = 2:7:9.
From this ratio we can see that <em>ratio of nickel to zinc is 2:7</em>.
Let us assume number of pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc is x pounds.
So, we can setup a proportion as :
x : 4.9 = 2:7
Or

On cross multiplication, we get
7x= 4.9× 2
7x = 9.8
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
x = 1.4.
<h3>Therefore, 1.4 pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.</h3><h3 />
Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is any point on the line.
y - (-2) = 4(x - 3)
y + 2 = 4x - 12
y = 4x - 12 - 2
y = 4x - 14
Answer:
math is a difficult subject
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 inches in 1 feet, so
5 feet = 5 * 12 = 60 inch
6 feet = 6 * 12 = 72 inch
So, we can say most adult humans are between 60 to 72 inches tall
The model is 7 inches tall. So, from the answer choices, 7 * 10 = 70 [the number that is in between 60 to 72]. Thus we can take the model to be 1/10th of the original.
So the scale factor is 1/10, or option B
