Pure gold is 24 Karat's so the ratio of purity 18 karat gold is:
(Number of Karats of Gold chain)/(Number of Karats of pure Gold)
this will give us:
18/24
=3/4 
The weight of pure gold in 18 Karat Gold will be:
(ratio of purity)×(Total weight of chain)
=3/4×18
=13 1/2 ounces
=13.5 ounces.

<span>18 karat gold contains 75% gold, and 25% other metals in the alloy. 75% of 2.8 ounces yields a gold content of 2.1 ounces. Multiplying .75 times 2.8 will yield the correct result.</span>

At 6:00 A.M. the temperature was 33°F. By noon the temperature had increased by 10°F and by 3:00 P.M. it had increased another 1
chubhunter [2.5K]

So let's see here...


6:00 A.M. temperature is 33°F.

12:00 P.M temperature increased by 10°F making it 43°F.

3:00 P.M. temperature increased by another 12°F making it 55°F.

At 10:00 P.M it would decrease by 15°F making it 40°F.

The temperature would need to fall (or decrease) by 7°F to reach the original temperature of 33°F

Hope this helped!

Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundreth if necessary. x^2-x-7=0
gregori [183]
X^2 - x  = 7
(x - 0.5)^2 - 0.25 = 7
(x - 0.5)^2 = 7.25
(x - 0.5)  = +/- sqrt 7.25
x  =  0.5 +/- sqrt7.25 

solution set is {-2.19, 3.19,}

Zero product property<br> (5y-3) (2y+1)=0<br><br> 2v(3v+4)=0
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

y = 3/5 or y = -1/2

v = 0 oe v = -4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Zero product property states that if ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0.

(5y - 3) (2y + 1) = 0

5y - 3 = 0 or 2y + 1 = 0

y = 3/5 or y = -1/2

2v(3v + 4) = 0

2v = 0 or 3v + 4 = 0

v = 0 oe v = -4/3
