<span>Equation:
silver + silver = silver
0.45x + 0.60(40-x) = 0.48*40
----------------
45x + 60*40 - 60x = 48*40

--------
-15x = -12*40
x = (4/5)40
x = 32 lbs (amt of 45% slloy needed)
40-x = 8 lbs (amt of 60% alloy needed)</span>

Help me pls... ....
musickatia [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

A1

1 yard = 3 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

therefore,

100 yards = 100×3×12 inches = 3600 inches

A2

again, 1 yard = 3 feet

8 ft = 8/3 = 2.67 yards = 2 2/3 yards

A3

1 gallon = 8 pints

A4

1 liter = 1000 milliliters (remember, "mili" means 1/1000).

therefore,

2.2 liters = 2.2×1000 = 2200 milliliters

A5

again, 1 liter = 1000 milliliters

therefore

1 milliliter = 1/1000 liter

670 milliliters = 670 × 1/1000 liter = 670/1000 liter =

= 0.67 liter

B1

1 kg (kilogram) = 1000 grams ("kilo" means 1000).

we have 3 layers.

each layer weighs (cake plus icing)

1/2 kg + 100 g = 500 g + 100 g = 600 g

3 layers then weigh

3×600 g = 1800 g

the additional candle weighs 250 g.

so, the total is

1800 g + 250 g = 2050 g = 2.05 kg

B2

area is 110 m².

1 m = 100 cm ("centi" means 1/100).

and 1 m² is then 100×100 = 10000 cm².

so, the area in cm² is

110 × 10000 = 1,100,000 cm²

the top area of one brick = 10 × 20 = 200 cm²

so, we need

1,100,000 / 200 = 11,000 / 2 = 5500 bricks
