A car uses one litre of petrol for every 14km. If one of petrol cost N63.00, how far can the car go with N900.00 worth of petrol? A. 420km B. 405km C. 210km D. 200km
Show Content
Detailed Solution1 litre = N63.00xlitres = N900.00 x x N63 = N900 x 1 litre x = \(\frac{900}{63} \times litre\) x = \(\frac{100}{7}\) litres Also, 1 litre = 14km \(\frac{100}{7}\) = y y x 1 litre = \(\frac{100litre}{7}\) x 14km y = 20km |

A casting is made up of Copper and Zinc. If 65% of the casting is Zinc and there are 147g of Copper. What is the mass of the casting? A. 320g B. 420g C. 520g D. 620g
Show Content
Detailed Solution%Zinc + %Copper = 100%65% + %Copper = 100% %Copper = 100% - 65% = 35% %Copper = \(\frac{\text{Mass of % Copper}}{\text{Mass of Casting}}\) x 100% Mass of Casting = \(\frac{147}{35}\) x 100% = 420g |
