Seventh graders collected some gold sand on a class field trip. Class 7A collected 40 oz of gold sand that contains 12% gold.
Class 7B collected 55 oz of gold sand that contains 11% gold.
How much pure gold did 7A collect?

Class 7A collected 4.8 ounces of pure gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills required are: Percentages, Multiplication

Here we have to do 12% x 40 to find the number of oz of pure gold. We first have to convert 12% into a decimal. Divide it by a 100 (or move the decimal point 2 places to the left) and you will get 0.12.

Do 0.12 x 40 and you will get 4.8

Therefore, there are 4.8 oz of pure gold in Class 7A's gold sand

x> 6

step-by-step explanation:

8x+8> 7x+14

8x-7x> 14-8

x> 6

step-by-step explanation:

a cube has 6 sides

the probability of getting 5 on the first cube is 1/6 since only one side of the cube has 5 on it.

there are 3 sides of the cube with even number on it [2,4,6]

therefore the probability of getting even number is 3/6

for both events to happen together, the probability would be

1/6 x 3/6 = 12/36

which simplifies to 1/12
