We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:

276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.

To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:

104/276 is about 0.3768.

Multiply this by 100:

37.68

So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.

After the closing of the mill, the town of Sawyerville experienced a decline in its population.
ycow [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

P(t) = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)

9,000 = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)

0.75 = 2^(-t/15)

ln(0.75) = ln(2^(-t/15))

ln(0.75) = (-t/15) ln(2)

-15 ln(0.75) / ln(2) = t

t = 6.23

Jabari is thinking of three numbers. The greatest number is twice as large as the least number. The middle number is three more
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  18, 21, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the least number. Then the greatest is 2L and the middle number is (L+3). Their sum is ...

  L +(2L) +(L+3) = 75

  4L = 72 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2, collect terms

  L = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  L+3 = 21

  2L = 36

The numbers are 18, 21, and 36.

love history [14]

Answer:

From the Pythagorean Theorem we know:

hypotenuse^2 = side^2 + side^2

hypotenuse^2 = 36 + 36

hypotenuse = square root (72)

hypotenuse = 8.48528... feet

Find a ⋅ b. a = 8i + 6j, b = 4i + 5j
frutty [35]
You could rewrite this as double brackets, as you are multiplying together two sets of two terms. It would then look like:
(8i + 6j)(4i + 5j)
and you can expand by multiplying together all of the terms

8i × 4i = 32i²
8i × 5j = 40ij
6j × 4i = 24ij
6j × 5j = 30j²

To get your final answer, you then just need to add together all of the like terms, and get 32i² + 30j² + 64ij

I hope this helps!
