Answer: it contains 200 grams of zinc.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 15 = 4;15
Total ratio = 4+15= 19
We first find amount of both zinc and copper( the whole chemical) which is equal to
ratio of copper / total ratio x (the entire chemical--total grams of zinc and copper) =amount of copper
15/19 x X = 750
X= 750 X 19 / 15= 950 grams
To find amount of zinc in the chemical = ratio of zinc / total ratio x total amount of chemical
=4/19 x 950
=200 grams
Answer:
336.49
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 87.4 times 3.85 to find your answer.
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. (flipped version)
6 and 9 are both divisible by 3, so we can simplify 6/9 = 2/3.
We can multiply across right now, but we might as well cross cancel.
Look at the numbers diagonal from one another...-3 and 3 are both divisible by 3, so we can change them to -1 and 1...2 and 2 are both divisible by 2, so we can change them to 1 and 1...
Any fraction over 1 can just be expressed as a whole number.
Our final answer...
If you were to multiply across, (maybe you don't like cross cancelling, idk?) you'd get the same answer, of course.
Answer:
$6000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Total planned amount to invest = 10,000 in two funds:
Fund A at rates 4.5% and
Fund B at 5% simple interest
Total Annual Interest should be = 480
What is the smallest amount you can invest in the 5% fund and still meet your objective?
Let ;
Investment in fund A = principal = a at 4.5%(0.045)
Investment in fund B = principal = (10000 - a) at 5%(0.05)
Simple interest = principal * rate * time
a + (10000 - a) = 10000
(a * 0.045) + (10000 - a) * 0.05 = 480
0.045a + 500 - 0.05a = 480
-0.005a = 480 - 500
-0.005a = - 20
a = 20 / 0.005
a = 4000
4000 at 4.5%
Investment in fund B = principal = (10000 - a)
(10,000 - 4000) = 6000
