Answer:

  • 12.5 ounces of 12% alloy
  • 37.5 ounces of 24% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount (in ounces) of 24% alloy in the mix. Then the amount of 12% alloy is (50 -x). The amount of silver in the mix is ...

  24%·x + 12%·(50 -x) = 21%·50

  12x = 450 . . . . . . simplify, multiply by 100 (to eliminate %), and subtract 600

  x = 37.5 . . . . . . . divide by 12

The jeweler needs to mix 37.5 ounces of 24% silver alloy with 12.5 ounces of 12% silver alloy to make 50 ounces of 21% silver alloy.

What is the solution to 7+3x≤8(3+x) ?
Crank
7+3x≤8(3+x)  perform indicated multiplication on right side

7+3x≤24+8x  subtract 8x from both sides

7-5x≤24  subtract 7 from both sides

-5x≤17  divide both sides by -5 (and reverse direction of inequality sign because of multiplication/division by a negative value)

x≥-17/5

x≥ -3.4

I need help with this math
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

2/4 x 7/10 = 14/40, or 7/20.

5/6 x 3/4 = 15/24, or 5/8

3/4 x 2/3 = 6/12, or 1/2

3/10 x 4/5 = 12/50, or 6/25

i think you can finish the rest, all you have to do is multiply the numerator and the numerator, and the denominator and the denominator.

numerator = number on the top

denominator = number on the bottom

then put the two results:

[numerator x numerator]

____________________

[denominator x denominator]

hope this helped! ^^
