Since Sylvanite only contains 28% gold by mass, then to obtain 81.0 grams of gold, x amounts of sylvanite must be mined. To determine x, we divide 81 grams by 28%. This equation is shown below:
0.28X = 81
X = 81/0.28
X = 289.29 grams
Therefore, 289.29 grams of sylvanite must be dug up to obtain 81 grams of gold.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Write an expression to show how to calculate the number of buses needed. Make sure to include parenthesis to show what should be done first since order of operations is important.
(9*25)+4+(2*4)=237 (total number of people going to the museum
Each bus,excluding the driver,holds 44 people
237/44 = 5.3863636363.......
2. How many buses will be needed?
6 buses are needed
3. Why must the answer to the problem be a whole number?
Buses cannot be divided in fractions It should be or 5 buse or 6
But 5 buses are not enough
4. Why shouldn't you round the answer the usual way?
Even when rounded it is still a decimal and buses need to be counted by whole number
5. Can your answer be classified as a rational number? Explain why or why not.
6 is a rational number (whole number)
5.38636363.......is rational ( repeating decimal
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x + 1) - 2(x + 5) - 5(5 - 2x) = 16
6x + 3 - 2x - 10 - 25 + 10x = 16
6x - 2x + 10x = 16 - 3 + 10 + 25
14x = 48
x = 48/14
x = 24/7
