Answer: 2450 min or 40hr and 50 min
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a proportion to set up this equation.
We cross muliply so get our equation.
It took Mike 2450 min to read 1225 pages. We can also use a proportion to write this in hours
Answer: 490 grams of the first alloy should be used.
30 grams of the second alloy should be used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the weight of the first alloy in grams that should be used.
Let y represent the weight of the second alloy in grams that should be used.
A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 15% gold and 20% lead. This means that the amount of gold and lead in the first alloy is
0.15x and 0.2x
The second alloy contains 30% gold and 50% lead. This means that the amount of gold and lead in the second alloy is
0.3y and 0.5y
If the alloy to be made contains 82.5 g of gold, it means that
0.15x + 0.3y = 82.5 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
The second alloy would also contain 113 g of lead. This means that
0.2x + 0.5y = 113 - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 0.2 and equation 2 by 0.15, it becomes
0.03x + 0.06y = 16.5
0.03x + 0.075y = 16.95
Subtracting, it becomes
- 0.015y = - 0.45
y = - 0.45/- 0.015
y = 30
Substituting y = 30 into equation 1, it becomes
0.15x + 0.3 × 30 = 82.5
0.15x + 9 = 82.5
0.15x = 82.5 - 9 = 73.5
x = 73.5/0.15
x = 490
The hourly rate would be $14
Answer:
E) 9/12
Step-by-step explanation:
well first you need to know the number of non-red objects. There are 12 total so 12-3=9 non-red objects
9 out of 12 are non-red which is the exact same as the number of chances you have. 9/12
