Pure gold is often mixed with other metals to produce jewelry. Pure gold is 24 carat. 12 carat gold is 12/24 or 50% gold, 6 carat gold is 6/24 or 25% gold, etc. A jeweler has some 12 carat gold and some 21 carat gold and wants to produce 90 g of 75% gold.

a. What percentage of gold is 21 carat?

b. How many grams of 12 carat gold and 21 carat gold are needed to produce the mixture?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 87.5%

b. 30 g of 12 carat and 60 g of 21 carat.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The percentage of gold in 21 carat is given by:

[tex]gold_{21} = \frac{21}{24}*100 = 87.5 \%[/tex]

b. Since the mass he wants to produce is 90 g, then the added mass of the 12 carat, "x", and the mass of the 21 carat "y", must be equal to that:

[tex]x + y = 90[/tex]

The sum of gold on each carat type must be equal to the amount of gold on the final mixture, since a 12 carat has 50% gold and a 21 carat has 87.5% gold, then we have:

[tex]0.5*x + 0.875*y = 0.75*90\\\\0.5*x + 0.875*y = 67.5\\[/tex]

We now have a system of equations which we can solve to find the necessary mass of each type.

[tex]x + y = 90 \text{ } *-0.5\\0.5*x + 0.875*y = 67.5\\\\-0.5*x - 0.5*y = -45\\0.5*x + 0.875*y = 67.5\\\\0.375*y = 22.5\\\\y = 60[/tex]

[tex]x = 90 - y = 90 - 60\\\\x = 30[/tex]

He needs 30 g of 12 carat gold and 60 g of 21 carat gold.

Answer 2

Answer:

a. 87.5%

b. 30 g of 12 carat and 60 g of 21 carat.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The percentage of gold in 21 carat is given by:

b. Since the mass he wants to produce is 90 g, then the added mass of the 12 carat, "x", and the mass of the 21 carat "y", must be equal to that:

The sum of gold on each carat type must be equal to the amount of gold on the final mixture, since a 12 carat has 50% gold and a 21 carat has 87.5% gold, then we have:

We now have a system of equations which we can solve to find the necessary mass of each type.

He needs 30 g of 12 carat gold and 60 g of 21 carat gold.

travels at 70 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to be 360 miles apart?
Do not do any rounding.

Answers

Answer:

2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

after an hour the distance between them will be 80+70=150 miles

1 hour  .......150 m

x hours .......360 m

x*150=360

x=360/150

x=2.4 hours

Answer: 2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = speed x time

1st train = 80t

2nd train = 70t

80t + 70t = 360

t = 360/150 = 2.4 hours

Answers

Answer: no solution

Step-by-step explanation: 4/5z - 1/5z = 3/5z

3/5z + 4 = 3/5z + 6

No solution

Answer:

[tex]$z=-\frac{48}{55} $[/tex]

It has one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]$\frac{4}{5z}-\frac{1}{5z+4}=\frac{3}{5z+6} $[/tex]

Once we have fractions we already know the values when the equation is not true. I'm talking about division when the denominator is 0. It is undefined.

The values for [tex]z[/tex] are:

[tex]$0 ; -\frac{4}{5} \text{ and } -\frac{6}{5} $[/tex]

Now let's find [tex]z[/tex]. First, we have to find the least common multiplier:

In this case: [tex](5z+4)(5z+6)(5z)[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{4}{5z}-\frac{1}{5z+4}=\frac{3}{5z+6} $[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{4(5z+4)(5z+6)}{(5z+4)(5z+6)(5z)}-\frac{1(5z)(5z+6)}{(5z+4)(5z+6)(5z)}=\frac{3(5z)(5z+4)}{(5z+4)(5z+6)(5z)} $[/tex]

I will not proceed in the way above because it would take some time to type, instead, multiply [tex](5z+4)(5z+6)(5z)[/tex] both sides.

[tex]4(5z+4)(5z+6)-1(5z)(5z+6)=3(5z)(5z+4)[/tex]

[tex](20z+16)(5z+6)-(5z)(5z+6)=15z(5z+4)[/tex]

[tex]100z^2+200z+96-25z^2-30z=75z^2+60z[/tex]

[tex]200z+96-30z=60z[/tex]

[tex]200z-90z=-96[/tex]

[tex]110z=-96[/tex]

[tex]$z=-\frac{96}{110} $[/tex]

[tex]$z=-\frac{48}{55} $[/tex]

Answer:

1. -2

2. 18

3. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the following explanations "x" is a variable which represents "a number" given in the problems.

1. You can set up a simple equation " x + 7 = 5 " because you are increasing a number to get the answer. From there you can subtract 5-7 and you'll get -2, the answer to the first one.

2. This time the number is decreased by 6, and the answer is 12. Since it's being decreased, you'll set up the equation like this: " x - 6 = 12 ". For this problem you can do 12 + 6 = 18, which is your answer.

3. A number "added" to -3 is -5. The number following 'is' will almost always be the answer you're looking for, so we can do x + (-3) = -5 . From there just add 3 to each side, and you'll get -2 + (-3) = -5.

If you take one thing away from this, let it be the following:

The methods that I used do work, but something I'd suggest trying in the future is carrying over the same number to the other side of the equation.

If you're struggling on these problems, this might help.

The way this works is simple, lets say you have this equation:

x + 5 = 10

The best and most efficient way of solving this problem is by taking a number from one side, and moving it to the other side. It seems confusing at first, but isn't all that hard once you figure it out. So for this problem:

x + 5 = 10

   - 5   -5

Now you only have 'x' on the left side of the equation. This is the end goal. Once you get x on one side of the equation, the answer tends to be on the other side.

So:

x + 5 = 10

   - 5   -5

x + 0 = 5      <- this is what you want.

x = 5

Hope this helps, and hope you learned more from this then an hour and a half at school :P

sin−1(StartFraction 10.9 Over 8.9 EndFraction) = x
sin−1(StartFraction 8.9 Over 10.9 EndFraction) = x

Answers

Answer:

fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle.

sin JKL = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{JL}{KJ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8.9}{10.9}[/tex] , thus

x = [tex]sin^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{8.9}{10.9}[/tex] )

Answer:

D. [tex]sin^{-1} (\frac{8.9}{10.9} ) = x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin is used to find the side length of a right triangle using angle degrees. However, this is using the inverse. The ratios are still the same, though.

sin(x) = 8.9/10.9 because it is the opposite side's length over the hypotenuse length. Making it the inverse would make it D.

How to convert 1/4 to decimal form. How do I start that ? I obviously know it’s .25 but how do I show work ?

Answers

Answer:

(1/4 x 1 ) = 0.25

or (1/4) x 1 = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are doing the opposite to finding 25%

Which is 1/4 of 100%

We do this an opposite (not as inverse)

To find percentage increase as you can compare below.

or as percentage increase

230 x 0.25 (x 100) = 287.50  

Even though we are not finding increase for 1/4 by changing it to decimal form, this practice does use the (x1) element in brackets and does identify the distribution.

Plug the first equation into the second.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

BD = 42

x=12 is found below as a way to find x

We can find 42 by adding together the equations

3x+6 = 5x-18

+18 = 5x(-3x-6)

18 + 6 = 2x

24 = 2x

x= 12  

We can then plug in for 5x and 3x

as BD = 5x-18 = 3x+6

5(12) = 60 -18 = 42 and 3(12) =36+6 = 42

To find line BD = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+6= 42

3x = 42-6

3x = 36

x = 12

5x-18 = 60

5x = 60- 18

5x = 42

x=12

which of the following sets of sides could NOT form a right triangle:
a 3 — 4 — 5
b 6 — 8 — 10
c 8 — 14 — 17
d 9 — 40 — 41

Answers

Answer: C. 8-14-17

===================================================

Explanation:

Choice A is a non-answer because 3-4-5 does represent a right triangle. We can see so from the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

3^2+4^2 = 5^2

9+16 = 25

25 = 25

We get a true equation, so (a,b,c) = (3,4,5) is a solution to a^2+b^2 = c^2

This confirms a 3-4-5 triangle is a right triangle.

------

The same steps can be used to show 6-8-10 is also a right triangle (note how each value has been doubled compared to 3-4-5). We can cross choice B off the list.

We can also see that choice D is a non-answer as well.

------

Choice C is the only thing left. The proper Pythagorean triple is actually 8-15-17.

Let's see what happens when a = 8, b = 14, c = 17

a^2+b^2 = c^2

8^2+14^2 = 17^2

64+196 = 289

260 = 289 .... false equation

We get a false equation, so a = 8, b = 14, c = 17 does not form a right triangle.
