1 yd² of soil containing 30% clay was mixed into 2 yd of soil containing 45% clay. What is the clay content of the mixture?

105% ?

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not entirely sure if the 1 yard 'squared' is considered in the 30% but assuming it's not ... 1yd =30% 1yd^2=60% and 2yd=45% so 60%+45%=100%

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
