In A certain chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 3 to 19. A jar of the chemical contains 836 grams of copper. How many gram

s of zinc does it contain

Answer:

The jar contains 132 grams of zinc

Step-by-step explanation:

zinc to copper = 3 : 19

New equivalent weights

zinc to copper = x : 836

Now, let us solve for x as follows

\frac{zinc}{copper}  = \frac{3}{19} = \frac{x}{836} \\\\cross-multiplying\\3 \times\ 836 = 19 \times\ x\\2508 = 19x\\x = \frac{2508}{19}\\x =  132

the jar contains 132 grams of zinc

To check if the answer is accurate, the answer gotten when the weight of zinc is divided by copper will be the same for both the old and new ratios:

old ratio: 3 ÷ 19 =  0.158

new ratio: 132 ÷ 836 = 0.158

Match the inequality to the graph of its solution.<br> a. n/4 ≤ -1<br> b. -10 ≥ -100<br> c. 5x ≥ 20
postnew [5]
<span>a. n/4 ≤ -1

Multiply both sides by 4 => n ≤ - 4, which is all the real numbers less or equal than - 4.

That in the real number line is all the numbers to the left of - 4 (including  -4)

The matching graph is the B.


b. -10n ≥ -100

Divide both sides by - 10 => n ≤ 10

That is all the real numbers less or equal than 10.

In the real number line it is all the numbers to the left of 10, including 10.

So, the matching graph is the A.


c. 5x ≥ 20

Divide both sides by 5 => x ≥ 4

That is all the real numbers greater or equal to 4.

In the real number line it is all the numbers to the right of 4, including 4.

The matching graph is C.</span>

Figure this out please Asap.
weeeeeb [17]

If the polygons are similar then the sides are in proportion.

\dfrac{32}{24}=\dfrac{32:8}{24:8}=\dfrac{4}{3}

Therefore we have the equations:

\dfrac{x-1}{6}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\3(x-1)=(4)(6)\\\\3x-3=24\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\3x=27\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\boxed{x=9}


\dfrac{y+1}{21}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\3(y+1)=(21)(4)\\\\3y+3=84\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\3y=81\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\boxed{y=27}
