Answer:

  • 3 ounces of 75%
  • 7 ounces of 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounces of 75% silver needed. Then (10-x) is the number of ounces of 45% silver. The total silver required is ...

  0.75x +0.45(10 -x) = 0.54(10)

  0.30x +4.5 = 5.4

  0.30x = 0.9

  x = 0.9/0.3 = 3 . . . . . ounces of 75% silver

  10-x = 7 . . . . . ounces of 45% silver

Luis needs 7 ounces of 45% silver and 3 ounces of 75% silver.

IrinaVladis [17]

Solution:

<u>We know that:</u>

  • Radius: 18 yards
  • πr² = Area of circle
  • π = 3.14

<u>Finding the area of the circle:</u>

  • (π)(r²) = Area of circle
  • => (3.14)(18²) = Area of circle
  • => (3.14)(324) = Area of circle
  • => Area of circle = 3.14 x 324 = 1017.36 yards²

Vesnalui [34]

The greatest difference you can get is 42

The range of the integer is given as:

Smallest = -16

Largest = 26

So, the range is calculated as:

Range = Largest - Smallest

Substitute known values

Range = 26 - (-16)

Evaluate the difference

Range = 42

Hence, the greatest difference you can get is 42

cestrela7 [59]
As this is probability, we can use the next formulas and tell how is this going to be:
P(A) = student on the dean's list 
<span>P(B) = student taking calculus </span>
<span>P(A n B) = 0.042 </span>
<span>P(A) = 0.21 </span>
<span>So, P(B) = 0.042/0.21 </span>
<span>= 0.2
So the probability here is of 0.2</span>
