Answer:

6kg pure copper and 30 kg 10% copper was mixed to give 36kg of 25% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to produce 36 kg of 25% alloy

Let the Pure copper be x kg while 10% alloy be y kg

Pure copper is simply 100% copper

Thus;

x + y = 36 •••••(i)

Then;

100% of x + 10% of y = 25% of 36

= x + 0.1y = 9 •••••• ii)

From i x = 36-y

from ii, x = 9-0.1y

Equate both x

36-y = 9-0.1y

36-9 = 0.1y + y

0.9y = 27

y = 27/0.9

y = 30

x = 36-y

x = 36-30

x = 6 kg

Which number has both 2 and 5 as prime factors?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Any multiple of 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A factor is defined as "a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression." For example, the factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20.

When we multiply 2 and 5 together, we get 10. Multiplying this by anything else besides 0 will still yield something that has 2 and 5 as factors, for example 2 times 5 times 3 is 30. As this is just the same thing as multiplying 10 by 3, the answer is any multiple of 10.

7=3/8x-2<br> What is the answer show your work
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, isolate x by adding 2 to both sides.

9 = 3/8x

Then, multiply 8 to both sides.

72 = 3x

Then, divide both sides by 3.

24 = x
