The total number of students in the school is calculated as; 600 students

<h3>How to find fraction of a total?</h3>

Usually, some figures are expressed as a fraction of a whole as depicted in this case. Thus, when we are given a fraction of a whole to be equal to a particular figure, we will just cross multiply to get the total number.

We are told that;

Number of students that play a team sport at Lincoln high school = 225

Now, we are told that the number above represents a fraction of 3/8 of the total students in that school.

Thus, if the total number of students in the school is x, then we can say that;

(3/8)x = 225

Multiply both sides by 8 to get;

3x = 1800

x = 1800/3

x = 600 students

Thus, we can conclude that if two hundred and twenty five students play a team sport at Lincoln high school and these students represent 3/8 of the total, then we can say that the total number of students in the school is 600 students.

natita [175]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>There would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Since lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%, ya scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish in a certain bay after the first year, A) to write the explicit equation for f (n) that represents the number of lionfish in the bay after n years; B) determine how many lionfish will be in the bay after 6 years; and C) if scientists remove 1,200 fish per year from the bay after the first year, determine what is the recursive equation for f (n); the following calculations must be performed:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A)</em>

<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ n = f  </em>

<em>B)</em>

<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ 6 = X</em>

<em>8000 x 21.691961596369 = X</em>

<em>173,535.692770952 = X  </em>

<em>C)</em>

<em>(8000 - 1200 x 1 ^ n) x 1.67 ^ n = f</em>

<em>Therefore, there would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (6, -1) and (3, 47)
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(47+1)/(3-6) = 48/-3 = -16

y + 1 = -16(x - 6)

y + 1 = -16x + 96

y = -16x + 95

The enrollment at Temple Junior High School has a change of ─ 60 over a 3 year period. What is the average change per year?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Change in enrollment = - 60

Period of time at which change occurred = 3 years

Average change per year :

Total change in enrollment / period at which change occurred

= - 60 / 3

= - 20

Average change of - 20 enrollments per year

horrorfan [7]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-7}-\stackrel{y1}{8}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-6)}}}\implies \cfrac{-15}{3+6}\implies \cfrac{-15}{9}\implies -\cfrac{5}{3}

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{8}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{5}{3}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-6)}]\implies y-8=-\cfrac{5}{3}(x+6) \\\\\\ y-8=-\cfrac{5}{3}x-10\implies y = -\cfrac{5}{3}x-2
