Hi there! Let me know if you have any questions about my answer:

5.6 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can assume* that the ham did not have any salt before curing.

The questions tells us:

- The mass of the salt: 12 g

- The density of salt: 2.16 g/cm³

We are looking for:

- The volume of salt

<u>Solve using dimensional analysis, or the "unit cancellation method"</u>:

Write an equation.

V_{salt} = 12g * \frac{1 cm^{3}}{2.16g}        

Notice that the questions includes "cm³" in the units when discussing density. Volume can be given in cm³.

We want to multiply values with their units from the question so that, when the units cancel out, you will only have cm³ left.

In this equation set-up, "g" will cancel out because one is in the numerator (top number) and another is in the denominator (bottom number).

= \frac{12g*1 cm^{3}}{2.16g}          Both "g" units cancel out

= \frac{12*1 cm^{3}}{2.16}           Multiply 12 and 1 in the numerator

= \frac{12 cm^{3}}{2.16}              Divide 12 by 2.16 and keep the cm³ units

= 5.55... cm^{3}       Keep one extra digit** to help you round. The 5 in the middle rounds to 6.

= 5.6 cm^{3}            Final answer

*The ham is here to confuse you. The question doesn't give us enough information about the ham. We don't know how much ham there is, and we don't know how much salt was in the ham originally.

**12 has 2 significant figures. 2.16 has 3 significant figures. Since you're multiplying or dividing them together, you want the answer to round to 2 significant figures. Learn more about significant figures here: brainly.com/question/14463143

I hope this helps! Learn about another solution method, the density formula, here:

Question 1
Vikki [24]

Answer:

(B)15,36,39

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the line segments could create a Right Triangle, we check if it satisfies the Pythagoras Theorem, taking the longest part to be the Hypotenuse in all cases.

By Pythagoras Theorem: Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2

In  15,30,35

35^2\neq 15^2+30^2\\1225\neq 1125

In 15,36,39

39^2=36^2+15^2\\1521=1521

In 15, 20, 29

29^2\neq 15^2+20^2\\841\neq 625

In 5,15,30

30^2\neq 15^2+5^2\\900\neq 250

We can see that only 15,36,39 satisfies the required condition and thus it could be used to create a right triangle.

Part A: Solve −np − 70 &lt; 40 for n. Show your work. (4 points) Part B: Solve 4w − 7k = 28 for k. Show your work.
kondaur [170]
Hey!

For part A, let's write the problem,
-np-70\ \textless \ 40
Add 70 to both sides...
-np-70+70\ \textless \ 40+70
-np\ \textless \ 110
We are going to reverse the inequality, to do this we are going to multiply both sides by -1.
\left(-np\right)\left(-1\right)\ \textgreater \ 110\left(-1\right)
pn\ \textgreater \ -110
Divide both sides by p.
\frac{pn}{p}\ \textgreater \ \frac{-110}{p}
Our answer would be,
n\ \textgreater \ -\frac{110}{p}

Let's go with Part B. Let's write the problem,
4w-7k=28
Subtract 4w from both sides,
4w-7k-4w=28-4w
-7k=28-4w
Divide both sides by -7.
\frac{-7k}{-7}=\frac{28}{-7}-\frac{4w}{-7}
If we simplified it, we would be left with,
k=-\frac{28-4w}{7}

Thanks!
