36 minutes.

(1/20)x+(1/30)x=1solve for x (x=0.8333333333......)
Considering they take the same times for all 3 pounds,
That would mean that since 1 pound takes 12 minutes, then 3 pounds take 36 minutes

How many grams of 0.5% hydrocortisone cream must be mixed with 180 g of 2.5 % cream to make a 1 % w/w hydrocortisone cream? HINT
Sophie [7]

Answer:

We need 540 grams of 0.5% hydrocortisone cream

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call x the amount of grams needed. This means that the combined cream will have 180+x grams. We want x such that

x * 0.005 + 180*0.025 = (180+x)*0.01

Hence

0.005x + 4.5 = 1,8+0.01x

Lets put the x in the same side and take common factor

4.5-1.8 = 0.01x-0.005x

2.7 = (0.01-0.005)x = 0.005x

As a result

x = 2.7*0.005 = 540

We need 540 grams.

I need help please I just give me the answer thanks
Zanzabum
M= 33
Since degrees equal with the other one across from them.
N= 57
The reason why is because a right angle equals 90 degrees and 90-33 is 57.
Hope I helped you :-)

Answer:

The value of a  = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 4)

(x₂, y₂) = (6, a)

(x₃, y₃) = (-1, 1)

A = 9 sq.units

Area of a triangle with vertices (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) is:

A=\frac{\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|}{2}

substituting the values (x₁, y₁) = (2, 4), (x₂, y₂) = (6, a), (x₃, y₃) = (-1, 1), A = 9 in th formula

A=\frac{\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|}{2}

9=\frac{\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)+-1\left(4-a\right)\right|}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

\frac{2\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\left(4-a\right)\right|}{2}=9\cdot \:2

simplify

\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\left(4-a\right)\right|=18

As the area is always positive.

so

2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\cdot \left(4-a\right)=18

2\left(a-1\right)-18-\left(4-a\right)=18

Add 18 to both sides

2\left(a-1\right)-18-\left(4-a\right)+18=18+18

simplify

2\left(a-1\right)-\left(4-a\right)=36

3a-6=36

3a=42

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{42}{3}

a=14

Thus, the value of a  = 14
