Gabriel is making a mixture of compost and soil to use for a special plant. he wants his final mix to be 2 parts compost to 6 parts potting soil. he wants to end up with 10 kilograms of mix. how many compost should gabriel use?

2.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Parts of compost = 2 parts

Parts of potting soil = 6 parts

Total parts = 2 parts + 6 parts = 8 parts

from the above, we can see that 2 out of 8 parts of the total mix is compost,

i.e compost makes up of the total mix.

Given: total mix is 10 kg,

the amount of compost is then x 10 kg = 2.5 kg

d

step-by-step explanation:

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
