Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:
n = 600/5 = 120.
The proportion of gold bars is given by:
p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30
Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:
nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

Answer:
6 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is find the difference between the numbers in each factor pair and make sure the factors combine to give 48.
2 and 4 . . . . . have a difference of 2, but 2·4 ≠ 48
4 and 6 . . . . . have a difference of 2, but 4·6 ≠ 48
6 and 8 . . . . . have a difference of 2, and 6·8 = 48
24 and 2 . . . . do not have a difference of 2
7x-4x=10-1
3x=9
3/3x=9/3
x=3
Answer:
A person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of calories in one bag of snickers =x
Number of calories in 3 small bags of snickers =3x
- If 5 people share 3 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share
Number of calories in 2 small bags of snickers =2x
- If 7 people share 2 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share
We then compare the two.
Let x=1
Therefore, a person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers gets more calories.
Common factors of 60 and 126 are:
