Let X = the 29% alloy and Y = the 60% alloy.
They want a total of 80kg, so you have X +Y = 80
Rewrite that to get X = 80-Y
You also want 0.20X + 0.60Y = 0.52(80)
Replace X with 80-y:
0.20(80-y) + 0.60y = 0.52(80)
Simplify:
16 - 0.20y + 0.60y = 41.6
Combine like terms:
16 +0.40y = 41.6
Subtract 16 from each side:
0.40y = 25.6
Divide both sides by 0.40
y = 25.6 / 0.40
y = 64
Now you have Y replace y with 80 in X = 80-Y
X = 80 - 64
X = 16
They need 64 Kg of the 60% alloy and 16 Kg of the 20% alloy.
5 goes into 2565...... 513 times because 2656 divided by 5 equals 513 2565 / 5 = 513
Volume = length x width x height.
if the width has to be a whole number no more than 5 then the only options for the width is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
V=5x1x2
V=10
V=5x2x2
V=20
V=5x3x2
V=30
V=5x4x2
V=40
V=5x5x2
V=50
the possible volumes are as follows: 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.
make sure in your answer that you label your volumes so you write ft^3 after every volume answer.
Hey!
Hope this helps...

The first thing we know is that all the answers equal 99, so we cannot cross any answer off, however, what we want to know is what answer (after distribution) looks like 36 + 63...
A.) 11(3 + 6) > 33 + 66
Does 33+66 look like 36+63?
NO
B.) 9(4 + 7) > 36 + 63
Does 36+63 look like 36+63?
YES
C.) 11(4 + 5) > 44 + 55
Does 44+55 look like 36+63?
NO
D.) 3(15 + 18) > 45 + 54
Does 45+54 look like 36+63?
NO
So...
The answer is: B.) 9(4 + 7)
