Answer:
Given is a sculpture that is built up of metal and wood, and the weight of this sculpture is 14.9 kilograms.
It says that three-fourth of the total weight is metal and says to find the weight of wooden part.
We can find the weight of metal part and then subtract it from the total weight to calculate the answer.
Total weight = 14.9 kilograms.
Metal part = three-fourth of total weight =
Wooden part = 14.9 - 11.175 = 3.725 kilograms.
Hence, the wooden part is 3.725 kilograms.

Answer:
Noah needs 8 pounds of the coffee that costs $9.20 per pound and 12 pounds of the coffee that costs $5.50 per pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 9.20 be x while the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 5.5 be y.
From the question, we know he wants to make 20 pounds of coffee
Thus;
x + y = 20 •••••••••••(i)
Let’s now work with the values
For the $9.20 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total will be 9.20 * x = $9.20x
For the $5.5 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total be 5.5 * y = $5.5y
The total cost is 20 pounds at $6.98 per pound: that would be 20 * 6.98 = $139.6
Thus by adding the two costs together we have a total of $139.6
So we have our second equation;
9.2x + 5.5y = 139.6 •••••••(ii)
From i, y = 20 - x
Let’s substitute this in ii
9.2x + 5.5(20-x) = 139.6
9.2x + 110 -5.5x = 139.6
9.2x -5.5x = 139.6-110
3.7x = 29.6
x = 29.6/3.7
x = 8 pounds
Recall;
y = 20 - x
y = 20-8
y = 12 pounds
The correct answer is is the option B . X>0
Hopefully this help you
Move the decimal five places until it is after one number, and because the number got bigger, your exponent is a negative.
