49/9=m/n this is because you multiply by the reciprocal of 3/7

A 15 ounce alloy containing 30% gold was mixed with an alloy containing 5% gold to get an alloy containing 20% gold. How many ou

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

4.5 % alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amt of 30% alloy

The resulting total is to be 25 oz, therefore:

(25-x) = amt of 5% alloy:

A typical mixture equation:

.30x + .05(25-x) = .20(25)

.30x + 1.25 - .05x = 5 .30x - .05x = 5 - 1.25

.25x = 3.75

x = 3.75%2F.25

x = 15 oz of 30% alloy required

then

25-15 = 10 oz of 5% alloy:

Check solution

.30(15) + .05(10) = .20(25)

4.5 + .5 = 5

A closed can, in a shape of a circular, is to contain 500cm^3 of liquid when full. The cylinder, radius r cm and height h cm, is

Gemiola [76]

To express the height as a function of the volume and the radius, we are going to use the volume formula for a cylinder: $V= \pi r^2h$
where
$V$ is the volume
$r$ is the radius
$h$ is the height

We know for our problem that the cylindrical can is to contain 500cm^3 when full, so the volume of our cylinder is 500cm^3. In other words: $V=500cm^3$ . We also know that the radius is r cm and height is h cm, so $r=rcm$ and $h=hcm$ . Lets replace the values in our formula:
$V= \pi r^2h$
$500cm^3= \pi (rcm^2)(hcm)$
$500cm^3=h \pi r^2cm^3$
$h= \frac{500cm^3}{ \pi r^2cm^3}$
$h= \frac{500}{ \pi r^2}$

Next, we are going to use the formula for the area of a cylinder: $A=2 \pi rh+2 \pi r^2$
where
$A$ is the area
$r$ is the radius
$h$ is the height

We know from our previous calculation that $h= \frac{500}{ \pi r^2}$ , so lets replace that value in our area formula:
$A=2 \pi rh+2 \pi r^2$
$A=2 \pi r(\frac{500}{ \pi r^2})+2 \pi r^2$
$A= \frac{1000}{r} +2 \pi r^2$
By the commutative property of addition, we can conclude that:
$A=2 \pi r^2+\frac{1000}{r}$

Check whether 2-3x is a factor of (x)2 -x+1

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if it was a factor then, 2-3x = 0

x= 2/3

putting x = 2/3 in eqn,

(2/3)^2 - 2/3 +1 =7/9....so it is not a factor
