Ni : Zn: Cu = 7:2:9 =7x : 2x : 9x

7x+2x+9x = 3.8
18x=3.8
x=3.8/18=1.9/9≈0.21

Ni:   7x=7*0.21=1.47 ≈1.5 kg
Zn:  2x=2*0.21=0.42≈0.4 kg
Cu: 9x=9*0.21=1.89 ≈1.9 kg

Check 1.5+0.4+1.9 =3.8 True

The image below represents a 12 x 16 room with an 8 x 10 piece of linoleum centered in the room. The yellow and blue rectangles
n200080 [17]
Since the rectangles are colored in, we can take the area of each color, then add them together. To find all the lengths and widths, subtract as needed: Since the center rectangle's length is 10 feet, subtract 10 from the length of the room which is 16 feet. Those 6 units must be divided in half to give 3 feet for the width of the blue rectangle. Similarly, subtract 8 from 12 and divide the 4 in half to give 2 feet for the width of the yellow rectangle. This also reveals the length and width of the green rectangle. The length is 3 and the width 2, so the area is found 3x2=6. The area of the blue rectangle is found 3x10=30. The area of the yellow rectangle is found 13x2=26. Add these areas up: 6+30+26 = 62 square feet.

Point C(3.6, -0.4) divides AB in the ratio 3:2. If the coordinates of A are (-6, 5), the coordinates of point B are ___. If poin
kari74 [83]
When a point divides a line segment into ratios of k1:k2, the formula to find the coordiates of the point is:
x=(k2*x1+k1*x2)/(k1+k2), y=(k2*y1+k1*y2)/(k1+k2), 
(x1,y1) being the coordinates of the starting point, and (x2,y2) coordinates of the end point. 
in this case, 3.6=[2*(-6)+3x2]/5
-12+3x2=18
3x2=30
x2=10

use the same method to find y2: -0.4=(2*5+3y2)/5
3y2=-12
y2=-4
so the the coordinates of B is (10,-4)

use the same method to find the coordinates of D.

the answer I've got for D is (58/9, -2) please double check my calculation.
