<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • 32 kg of 30% copper
  • 48 kg of 55% copper
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the mass of 55% copper alloy that is to be used in the mix. Then 80-x is the mass of 30% copper alloy to be used. The total amount of copper in the mix is then ...

... 0.55x + 0.30(80-x) = 0.45·80

... 0.25x = 12 . . . . . . simplify, subtract 24

... x = 48 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

... 80-x = 32 . . . . . . the mass of 30% copper alloy required

The metalworker should combine 32 kg of 30% copper alloy with 48 kg of 55% copper alloy to make 80 kg of 45% copper alloy.

What is the approximate area of a sector given O= 56 degrees with a diameter of 12m?​
jeyben [28]

Area of sector is 17.584 meters

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the approximate area of a sector given O= 56 degrees with a diameter of 12m

Diameter = 12 m

Radius = Diameter / 2 = 6 m

An angle of  56 degrees is the fraction \frac{56}{360} of the whole rotation

A sector of a circle with a sector angle of 56 degrees is therefore also the fraction \frac{56}{360} of the circle

The area of the sector will therefore also be  \frac{56}{360} of the area

\text{ sector area } = \frac{56}{360} \times \pi r^2\\\\\text{ sector area } = \frac{56}{360} \times 3.14 \times 6^2\\\\\text{ sector area } = 17.584

Thus area of sector is 17.584 meters

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

2(2x + 5)(2x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 5)(2x - 5)

= (4x + 10)(2x - 5)

= 8x² - 20x + 20x - 50

= 8x² - 50

Can somebody help me with this question
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
What you need to do is find the greatest amount (1) and the lowest amount (1/4) of sap collected and the find how many times the lowest can go into the greatest. (So how many times can 1/4 go into 1). I believe that this is how you would do that.

Describe the error in the work shown.
mihalych1998 [28]

The error was in second step.

3√(y^3)^4 = y^4

(Cube root cancels cube and not power 4)

The answer should be:

xy^4/4
