An alloy is composed of nickel, zinc, and copper in a 5:4:8 ratio. How many kilograms of each metal is needed to make 3.4 kg of this alloy?

1 kg, 0.8 kg, 1.6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up each part in the ratio

5 + 4 + 8 = 17

Divide the mass of the alloy by 17

3.4/17 = 0.2

To find out how much of each metal is in the alloy multiply 0.2kg by how many parts of it are in the alloy.

Nickel - 5 parts

0.2 x 5 = 1 kg

Zinc - 4 parts

0.2 x 4 = 0.8 kg

Copper - 8 parts

0.2 x 8 = 1.6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+4x+8x=3.4

17x=3.4

x=0.2

Nickel 1 kg

Zinc 0.8 kg

Copper 1.6 kg

Hope this helped :D

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
