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.

kykrilka [37]
Answer: The correct answer is "No, because there is a lot of variability in the language arts book data."

The mean of the language arts book is higher than the mean of the social studies book, however, there is a lot of variability in the language arts book. This means that the language arts book could actually be lower than the social studies book. It is not likely but it could happen.
