Answer:
<h2>36.14 pounds of 34% copper alloy and 9.86 pounds of 48% copper alloy</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
First alloy contains 34% copper and the second alloy contains 48% alloy.
We wish to make 46 pounds of a third alloy containing 37% copper.
Let the weight of first alloy used be 
in pounds and the weight of second alloy used be 
in pounds.
Total weight = 
Total weight of copper = 
Subtracting 34 times first equation from second equation,
∴ 36.14 pounds of first alloy and 9.86 pounds of second alloy were used.
The first option,
both have to be negative, because they were originally both part of the one fraction, which was all negative.
Answer:
B) Rational, not an integer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number is a decimal continuing forever; it is predictable. This means that it is Rational. If the number was not repeating then it would be irrational.
The number is not an integer because it is not a whole number; it is a decimal.
Answer:
10. First you multiply both sides by 3, making it 2x + 5 = 24
Then you subtract 5 from both sides making it 2x = 19
You dive both sides by 2 making x = 9.5
The answer is x = 9.5
11. First you need to find how much you need to pay each year. 12,000 x 0.05
you can make it easier by changing it to 120 x 5 = 600
You need to pay that for three years so 600 x 3 = 1800
Plus you need to pay the original money. 12,000 + 1,800 = 13,800
The answer is $13,800
12. First you change kilometers into centimeters. 172 km is 172,000 meters. 172,000 meters is 17,200,000
Then, you need to do 17,200,000 ÷ 500,000 but you can make it simple and do 172 ÷ 5 = 34.4
The answer is 34.4 cm
