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 />
Answer:
55.1%
Step-by-step explanation:
When a number is a percent, then one mutliplies it by 100, because a percent is a way of representing a value out of 100. Therefore, 0.551 as a percent is;
0.551 * 100
55.1%
Answer:
114 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, so
AB = CD , that is
13x - 7 = 5x + 9 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
8x - 7 = 9 ( add 7 to both sides )
8x = 16 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 2
Then
5x + 9 = 5(2) + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19
3x = 3(2) = 6
The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as
A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height ), thus
A = 19 × 6 = 114 units²
