The calculation is not reasonable, because 0.45 is less tha 1/2 ( 0.50) and what he has for an answer is half the distance ( 250.17 is 1/2 of 500.34).
To find actual mileage, multiply by 0.45:
500.34 x 0.45 = 225.153 miles.
Round the answer as needed.
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.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slant height of one side of this pyramid is 5, and the base of this side is 4. Thus, the area of one slant side is (1/2)(5)(4) = 10 units^2.
There are 4 such sides. Thus, the total slant surface area is 4(10 units^2), or 40 units^2.
If you also want to include the base area, the total would be
40 units^2 + 16 units^2 = 56 units^2.
2 / 3 of 4 = ( 2 x 4 ) / 3 = 8 / 3 ;
Only two integers can have the same distance from 0, so 2
