Answer:

The mass of 150 books = 41.7kg

The number of books that have mass 20kg = 72 books

Step-by-step explanation:

(I) Number of identical books = 108

Mass of books = 30 kg

Mass of 150 books = ?

Let the mass of 150 books = x kg

To find the mass of 150 books we will use ratio and proportion:

108 books: 30kg = 150 books: x kg

You can also write it like this because ratio can be written in division:

108/30 = 150/x

By cross multiplication:

108x = 150*30

108 x= 4500

Divide both sides by 108

108 x/108 = 4500/108

x= 41.7

Thus the mass of 150 books = 41.7kg

( ii ) The number of books that have a mass of 20 kg = ?

Let assume that the number of books of mass 20 kg = y books

We will again use ratio and proportion method.

108 books: 30kg = y: 20kg

We can write it as:

108/30 = y/20

By cross multiplication:

108 *20 = 30y

2160= 30y

Divide both the terms by 30

2160/30 = 30y/30

72 = y

Therefore the number of books that have mass 20kg = 72 books ....

The cost of producing x soccer balls in thousands of dollars is represented by h(x) = 5x + 6. The revenue is represented by

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

(k-h)(x) = 4x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know Profit = Revenue - Cost

Basically we gotta subtract cost function from revenue function and get the profit function.

The cost function is h(x) = 5x + 6

The revenue function is k(x) = 9x - 2

Hence, Profit is:

(k-h)(x) = (9x - 2) - (5x + 6)

(k-h)(x) = 9x -2 - 5x - 6

(k-h)(x) = 4x - 8

If cyanide in a stream next to a gold mine increases from 240 ppm to 360 ppm, what percent increase is this?

avanturin [10]

Given :

Initial concentration , 240 ppm .

Final concentration , 360 ppm .

To Find :

Percent increase.

Solution :

Percentage increase is given by :

$=\dfrac{Final-Initial}{Initial}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{360-240}{240}\times 100\\\\=50\%$

Therefore , percent increase is 50 % .

Hence , this is the required solution .

laiz [17]

Answer:

$h^{*} = 25\,in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider that door has a height of 5 feet and a width of 3 feet. The scale factor is:

$n = \frac{15\,in}{3\,ft}$

$n = 5\,\frac{in}{ft}$

The height of the cabinet is:

$h^{*} = n \cdot h_{door}$

$h_{*} = \left(5\,\frac{in}{ft} \right)\cdot (5\,ft)$

$h^{*} = 25\,in$
