The answer is A) 6:15, because if you divide both numbers by three, it'll give you 2:5
18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy
Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy
Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:
x + y = 90
51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper
So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper
We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:
0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9
but
x + y = 90
x= 90 - y
substituting that value in for x
0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9
13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9
0.45y = 32.4
y = 72
Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:
x + y = 90
x= 90-72
x=18
Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.
4(4x + 6) - 7 = 77 - 4x......distribute thru the parenthesis
16x + 24 - 7 = 77 - 4x ...simplify
16x + 17 = 77 - 4x ...addition property of equality....add 4x to both sides
16x + 4x + 17 = 77 ...subtraction property ...subtract 17 from both sides
16x + 4x = 77 - 17...combine like terms
20x = 60 ....division property....divide both sides by 20
x = 60/20
x = 3
Answer:
A 256/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 * 4^4 =
1/3 * (4*4*4*4) =
1/3 * 256 = 256/3
Answer:
2.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is on mean absolute deviation
The general formula ,
Mean deviation = sum║x-μ║/N where x is the each individual value, μ is the mean and N is number of values

64 15
<u>Sum </u> 34
Absolute mean deviation = 34/5= 6.8

Finding the mean
Points Absolute deviation from the mean
27 15.8
55 12.2
53 10.2
38 4.8
41 1.8
<u>Sum 44.8 </u>
Absolute deviation from the mean = 44.8/5 =8.96
Solution
Difference in mean absolute deviation of the two teams = 8.96-6.8 = 2.16
