A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 5 milliliters of compound A used for every 4 milliliters of compound B. If a chemist wants to make 621 milliliters of the drug, how many milliliters of compound A are needed?

884

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the ratio of A to B is 5:8

let x = the multiplier

then

5x = amt of compound A

and

8x = amt of compound B

:

5x + 8x = 884

13x = 884

x = 884/13

x = 68 is the multiplier

therefore

5(68) = 340 millilters of compound A needed

Confirm our answer. Find the amt of B

8(68) = 544 ml of B

340 + 544 = 884

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
