Bob the builder is making 4890kg of concrete mix. concrete is made by mixing cement, sand and gravel in the ratio 1 : 3 : 4 how much sand does he need?

To answer this item, we are first to determine the common factor between the amounts of the cement, sand, and gravel.

If we let x be this factor, the amount of the cement would be x. Similarly, the amount of sand is 3x, and lastly the amount of gravel is 4x. Then, we establish the equation that would let us relate the amounts.

      x + 3x + 4x = 480

Simplifying,

    8x = 480

     x = 60

Hence, the amount of cement is 60 kg, that of sand is 180 kg. Lastly, the amount of gravel is 240 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )

in geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. by extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.
