A foundry has been commissioned to make souvenir coins. The coins are to be made from an alloy that is 40% silver. The foundry has on hand two alloys, one with 50% silver content and one with a 25% silver content. How many kilograms of each alloy should be used to make 10 kilograms of the 40% silver alloy?

the amount of 50% silver alloy is 6 kilograms and the amount of 25% silver alloy is (10-6)= 4 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the weight of the alloy with 50% silver content is x  kilograms.

As, the weight of the mixed alloy should be 10 kilograms, so the weight of the alloy with 25% silver content will be:  kilograms

The percentage of silver content in the mixed alloy is 40%. So the equation will be calculated as

So, the amount of 50% silver alloy is 6 kilograms and the amount of 25% silver alloy is (10-6)= 4 kilograms.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

0.32
