Question

Use the scenario to answer the question.

Devin had a bucket of shredded metals. The metals consist of aluminum, steel, and copper. He tried sorting the mixture by running it through a filter, but this did not sort the mixture into separate components.


Which of the following can Devin conclude? Select the two correct answers.


1. Filters should be used to sort by size.


2. Filters cannot be used to sort metals.



3. The filter was too large, and he needs a smaller mesh filter.



4. Filters can only be used to sort metals from nonmetals.



5. The metals in the mixture have all been shredded to similar sizes.

Answer 1

1 bc a filter won't tell the difference between metals. It only separates by size, therefore will not help you separate the metals
