158 is the answer to your question
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the best business for this area is The Shoe Hut. This is the case for several reasons. First, there is less competition for custom sporting goods, as the supply in the area is lower. Survey data shows that there are more individuals who desire custom outdoor sporting goods than there are people who desire more coffee shops. Finally, the overall capital required to start and maintain The Shoe Hut is lower. Less equipment is needed, any building can be rented, and if an employee cannot be hired immediately, I can run the store on my own.
We are given ratio nickel to zinc to copper = 2:7:9.
From this ratio we can see that <em>ratio of nickel to zinc is 2:7</em>.
Let us assume number of pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc is x pounds.
So, we can setup a proportion as :
x : 4.9 = 2:7
Or

On cross multiplication, we get
7x= 4.9× 2
7x = 9.8
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
x = 1.4.
<h3>Therefore, 1.4 pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.</h3><h3 />
So, these are actually pretty simple once you learn the equality used to solve for "x" and when to implement this method. You can use this equality to solve for a segment "x" anytime that two secant lines cutting through a circle come from the same point outside the circle.
Secant: by geometric definition is just a straight line that cuts a curve into multiple pieces.
I did one of them for you hopefully you can use my work for "a" to help you solve for "b".
For a. I got x=7.

Consider the attachment below for further reference. Ideally we would split this figure into parts, and solve as demonstrated by the attachment. I have labeled each rectangle as rectangle 1, rectangle 2, rectangle 3 etc. ;
