Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Experimental-theoretical over theoretical.
This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Area formula:</u>
<u>The height is:</u>
- h = (x + 2)sin 45° = √2(x + 2)/2
<u>Substitute the area value an set an equation:</u>
- 4√2 = (2x - 3)√2(x + 2)/2
- (2x - 3)(x + 2) = 8
- 2x² + x - 6 = 8
- 2x² + x - 14 = 0
- D = 1 + 4*2*14 = 113
- x = (-1 + √113)/4 = 2.41 (rounded)
Note. the second root ignored as negative
25.25 bc 76 divided by 5 because the answer will not go evenly so you have to have a decimal
