2/3 (0.666) quantities fills one dispenser.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; It is given that 2 1/3 amount of some liquid fills up 3 1/2 dispensers. First, we must convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. To do that we multiply the number with the denominator and add with it the numerator whereas the denominator remains the same. To convert the fraction

2 1/3 we multiply the 2 with the 3 and add it with 1 while denominator remains 3, so 2 1/3 becomes 7/3. Similarly the fraction 3 1/2 converts into 7/2.

Step 2; So we have 7/3 quantities of liquid fills 7/2 dispensers. We multiply both sides by 2/7 so that the right side of the equation becomes 1 and the left side of the equation indicates the amount of liquid in 1 dispenser.

7/3 * 2/7 = 7/2 * 2/7 , 14/21 = 1 dispenser. So 14/21 = 2/3. So 2/3 or 0.666 quantity of liquid fills one dispenser.

The dosage for a drug used to treat a male Siberian tiger that weighs 550 pounds is based on the tiger's weight in kilograms (kg
algol [13]

Answer:

227.2727 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

The tiger weight is 550 pounds, and we want to convert this value to kilograms, so we need to use the ratio between pounds and kilograms.

We know that 1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds, so we can solve this problem using a rule of three:

1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds,

X kilograms are equal to 550 pounds.

1/X = 2.2/500

X = 500/2.2 = 227.2727 kilograms

So the weight of the tiger in kilograms is 227.2727 kilograms.

Evan wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn, so he needs no fence
pentagon [3]

Answer:  A.   A=(1000-2w)*w      B. 250 feet

C.  125 000 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of rectangular is A=l*w    (1)

From another hand the length of the fence is 2*w+l=1000        (2)

L is not multiplied by 2, because the opposite side of the l is the barn,- we don't need in fence on that side.

Express l from (2):

l=1000-2w

Substitude l in (1) by 1000-2w

A=(1000-2w)*w        (3)   ( Part A. is done !)

Part B.

To find the width w  (Wmax) that corresponds to max of area A   we have to dind the roots of equation (1000-2w)w=0  ( we get it from (3))

w1=0  1000-2*w2=0

w2=500

Wmax= (w1+w2)/2=(0+500)/2=250 feet

The width that maximize area A is Wmax=250 feet

Part C.   Using (3) and the value of Wmax=250 we can write the following:

A(Wmax)=250*(1000-2*250)=250*500=125 000 square feets
