Answer:

Class 7A collected 4.8 ounces of pure gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills required are: Percentages, Multiplication

We only need the information about Class 7A. They collected 40 oz that contains 12% gold.
In other words, this means that 12% of that 40 oz gold sand is pure gold.

Here we have to do 12% x 40 to find the number of oz of pure gold. We first have to convert 12% into a decimal. Divide it by a 100 (or move the decimal point 2 places to the left) and you will get 0.12.

Do 0.12 x 40 and you will get 4.8

Therefore, there are 4.8 oz of pure gold in Class 7A's gold sand

A histogram would best represent the data.
Dot plot is a good way to show a certain trend. However, when it comes to the number of a item, in this case the number of students in a certain score range, a histogram will be the most intuitive and concise. Thus, a histogram best represent the data presented here.

The longer leg of a right triangle is 6cm longer than the shorter leg and also 1cm longer than the hyptenese. find the perimeter

CaHeK987 [17]

X - a leg (x > 6);
x - 6 - a leg;
x + 1 - a hypotenuse;
Use the Pythagorean theorem
$(x+1)^2=x^2+(x-6)^2$

Use: $(a\pm b)^2=a^2\pm2ab+b^2$

$x^2+2x+1=x^2+x^2-12x+36\ \ \ |-x^2-2x-1\\\\x^2-14x+35=0\ \ \ |-35\\\\x^2-14x=-35\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot7=-35\ \ \ |+7^2\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot7+7^2=-35+7^2\\\\(x-7)^2=14\iff x-7=\pm\sqrt{14}\ \ \ |+7\\\\x=7-\sqrt{14} < 6;\ x=7+\sqrt{14}$

$x=7+\sqrt{14}\\x-6=1+\sqrt{14}\\x+1=8+\sqrt{14}$

The perimeter:

$7+\sqrt{14}+1+\sqrt{14}+8+\sqrt{14}=16+3\sqrt{14}$
