Question

Calculate the value of "x" in the equation x=mv/(mv+ml) when mv=5 and ml=1.

a) x = 5/6
b) x = 1/5
c) x = 1
d) x = 0.2

Answer 1

To find the value of x, substitute mv=5 and ml=1 into the equation x=mv/(mv+ml) to get x=5/(5+1), which simplifies to x=5/6. Therefore, the correct answer is a) x = 5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the value of x in the equation x=mv/(mv+ml) with mv=5 and ml=1, simply plug in the values into the equation as follows:

• mv = 5
• ml = 1

Substitute these values into the equation:

x = 5 / (5+1)

This simplifies to:

x = 5 / 6

Hence, the correct value of x is 5/6.

When looking at the options provided:

• a) x = 5/6
• b) x = 1/5
• c) x = 1
• d) x = 0.2

The correct answer is a) x = 5/6.
