A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 15% copper and another alloy that is 60% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy shou

coldgirl [10]

18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy

Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy

Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:

x + y = 90

51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper

So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper

We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:

0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9

but

x + y = 90

x= 90 - y

substituting that value in for x

0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9

13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9

0.45y = 32.4

y = 72

Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:

x + y = 90

x= 90-72

x=18

Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.

Hank has to drain his pool so repairs can be done on a crack on the bottom. The company coming to fix the pool is scheduled to a

Alik [6]

Answer:

The answer to the question: "Will Hank have the pool drained in time?" is:

Yes, Hank will have the pool drained in time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the time Hank needs to drain the pool, we can begin with the time Hank has from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in minutes:

Available time = 6 hours * 60 minutes / 1 hour (we cancel the unit "hour")
Available time = 360 minutes

Now we know Hank has 360 minutes to drain the pool, we're gonna calculate the volume of the pool with the given measurements and the next equation:

Volume of the pool = Deep * Long * Wide
Volume of the pool = 2 m * 10 m * 8 m
Volume of the pool = 160 m^3

Since the drain rate is in gallons, we must convert the obtained volume to gallons too, we must know that:

1 m^3 = 264.172 gal

Now, we use a rule of three:

If:

1 m^3 ⇒ 264.172 gal
160 m^3 ⇒ x

And we calculate:

$x = \frac{160 m^{3}*264.172 gal }{1m^{3} }$ (We cancel the unit "m^3)
x = 42267.52 gal

At last, we must identify how much time take to drain the pool with a volume of 42267.52 gallons if the drain rate is 130 gal/min:

Time to drain the pool = $\frac{42267.52gal}{130\frac{gal}{min} }$ (We cancel the unit "gallon")
Time to drain the pool = 325.1347692 minutes
Time to drain the pool ≅ 326 minutes (I approximate to the next number because I want to assure the pool is drained in that time)

As we know, Hank has 360 minutes to drain the pool and how it would be drained in 326 minutes approximately, we know Hank will have the pool drained in time and will have and additional 34 minutes.
