Answer:

6 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the area formula: A=LengthxWidth

Plug in what we know: 24 3/8= 3 3/4x Width

We need to isolate the width; get it by itself.

Do this by (24 3/8)/(3 3/4). The best way is to enter this into a calculator.

Your answer is 6 1/2

There are some monkeys in the zoo. 60% are young monkeys and the remaining are baby and old monkeys. The ratio of baby monkeys t

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

There are 60 monkeys in the Zoo

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of monkeys in a Zoo given some information to use.

Let’s have the total number of monkeys be m.

60% are going monkeys. This means number of young monkeys is 0.6m.

The number of baby and old monkeys is obviously 0.4m.

Ratio of baby to old monkeys is 3:1. This means if we splitter 0.4m into 4, number of baby monkeys is 0.3m while number of old monkeys is 0.1m

Now, subtracting the number of baby monkeys from young monkeys give a total of 18 monkeys.

Let’s project this mathematically;

This means ;

0.6m - 0.3m = 18

0.3m = 18

m = 18/0.3

m = 60

There are 60 monkeys in the zoo

Is the given point interior , exterior, or on the circle k (x+2)2 + (y-3)2 =18 P (8,4)

Mnenie [13.5K]

One way would be to find the distance from the point to the center of the circle and compare it to the radius

for
$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
the center is (h,k) and the radius is r

and the distance formula is
distance between $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is
$D=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

r=radius
D=distance form (8,4) to center

if r>D, then (8,4) is inside the circle
if r=D, then (8,4) is on the circle
if r<D, then (8,4) is outside the circle

so
$(x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=18$
$(x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2=(\sqrt{18})^2$
$(x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2=(3\sqrt{2})^2$

the radius is $3\sqrt{2}$
center is (-2,3)

find distance between (8,4) and (-2,3)

$D=\sqrt{(8-(-2))^2+(4-3)^2}$
$D=\sqrt{(8+2)^2+(1)^2}$
$D=\sqrt{10^2+1}$
$D=\sqrt{100+1}$
$D=\sqrt{101}$

$r=3\sqrt{2}$ ≈4.2
$D=\sqrt{101}$ ≈10.04

do r<D

(8,4) is outside the circle

Solve 5x – 1 = 3x – 15. Explain each step, and include the Properties of Equality that you used.

artcher [175]

5x – 1 = 3x – 15

Subtraction Property of Equality (Subtract 3x from both sides)

2x - 1 = -15

Addition Property of Equality (Add 1 to both sides)

2x = - 14

Division Property of Equality (Divide both sides by 2)

x = -7
