There were 3 pieces of pie and two kids wanted them. You gave each give one full piece of pie and then cut the last piece in half. After this, each kid had 1 1/2 pieces of pie.
Answer:
Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each ounce of the 14% copper contains 0.14 ounce of pure copper.
Each ounce of the 23% copper contains 0.23 ounce of pure copper.
Each ounce of the 18.1% copper contains 0.181 ounce of pure copper.
Use x ounces of the 14% and y ounces of the 23% to make 90 ounces of 18.1% alloy.
x+y = 90
y = 90-x
0.14x + 0.23y = 0.181·90
0.14x + 0.23(90-x) = 16.29
0.14x + 20.7 - 0.23x = 16.29
-0.09x + 20.7 = 16.29
4.41 = 0.09x
x = 49
y = 90-x = 41
Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.
R example: 6 1/2 = 13/2 = 6.5
For the first example, six and a half is equal to thirteen halves, which
is then equal to six point five. To do this, the rule to turn a mix
number into a fraction is by multiplying the 2 with the 6 and then add
the answer to 1, which gives 13/2 (Remember to always give the same
denominator). Finally, thirteenth halves is equal to six point five
(because when you divide 13 by 2, you get 6 and one left over. To
continue dividing, add a 0 , and so 10 goes into 2 is five. so the
decimal is 6.5
