Cupro-nickel coins are minted by mixing copper and nichel in the ratio 4:1a) How much copper is needed to mix with 20kg of nickel?
b) How much nickel is needed to mix with 20kg of copper?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Copper:   Nickel =  4:1

a) How much copper needed for 20 kg nickel
                 C:N = 4: 1 
                 C:20 = 4:1

C/20 = 4/1       Cross Multiply
C*1 = 4*20
C = 80     

80kg Copper would be needed.

b) How much Nickel would be needed for 20 kg of Copper
                 C:N = 4: 1 
                 20:N = 4:1

20/N = 4/1       Cross Multiply
4*N = 1*20
4N = 20   Divide both sides by N.  

N = 20/4 = 5

5kg Nickel would be needed.

You and your brother each start a child-care service. You spend $50 on supplies and plan to charge $10 per hour. Your brother spends $30 on supplies and plans to charge $8 per hour. How many hours will each of you have to work to earn the same amount of money?

Answers

The solution is, you'll both have to work for 10 hours to make the same amount of money. That amount of money is $50.

What is  simplification?

Simplify simply means to make it simple. In mathematics, simply or simplification is reducing the expression/fraction/problem in a simpler form. It makes the problem easy with calculations and solving.

here, we have,

given that,

You spend $50 on supplies and plan to charge $10 per hour.

Your brother spends $30 on supplies and plans to charge $8 per hour.

Let X = hours worked,

and Y = money earned

This is your equation : y = 10x - 50

This is your brothers : y = 8x - 30

Now, we know that you have to work to make the same amount of $$ (y value)

So set it equal to each other, **  10x-50 = 8x-30 **

10x-8x= -30+50

2x=20

x=10.

The answer is, you'll both have to work for 10 hours to make the same amount of money. That amount of money is $50.

G(x)=x-4 Can you evaluate this problem if so how?

Answers

You cannot evaluate for (g o f)(0). You will get an undefined answer.

(g o f)(x) tells you to plug in the f(x) function for the x-variable in the g(x) equation; so it would be like saying g(f(x)). This would result in (g o f)(x) = (1/x) - 4. Now plug in 0, (g o f)(0) = 1/0 - 4. One cannot divide by zero in order to simplify the equation and get an answer... unless an undefined answer counts, which I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
