Solve the following proportion4 x— = —7 28x=

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]1 year ago
7 0
Answer:

x = 16

Explanations:

The given rquation is:

\frac{4}{7}=\text{ }\frac{x}{28}

Step 1: Cross multiply the equations. That is 28 multiplies 4 and 7 multiplies x:

28\text{   x   4    =     7   }\times\text{    x} 112 = 7x

Step 2: Divide both sides by 7

\frac{112}{7}=\text{ }\frac{7x}{7} 16 = x x = 16

To determine the number of squirrels in a conservation area a researcher cashers tags and releases 114 squirrels you later catch
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

336 squirrels

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a Mark-Recapture method.

-The population is estimated using the formula:

N=\frac{MC}{R}

where:

  • N-is the estimated population size.
  • M-is the number of individuals tagged
  • C- is the total number captured the second time(both tagged and untagged)
  • R-is the total number of tagged individuals recaptured.

#We substitute our values as follows to estimate N:

N=\frac{MC}{R}\\\\=\frac{114\times 97}{33}\\\\=335.0909\approx336

Hence, there are approximately 336 squirrels in the conservation area.

*population is always rounded up to the next whole number.

Sandra deposited $2,500 into a simple interest account.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

240$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I=P(rt)

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

Sandra

t = 1 year

I= $75

P= $2,500

r= ?

substitute in the formula above

75=2,500 (r(1))

solve for r

r=75/2,500)

r= 0.03

Convert to percentage form

r= 0.03 * 100 = 3%

Ron

t=1 year

I = ?

P= 8,000

r= 0.03

substitute in the formula of interest

I = 8,000(0.03 *1)

I = $240

one leg of a right triangle is 5 millimeters shorter than the longer leg and the hypotneuse is 5 millimeters longer than the lon
Makovka662 [10]
The answer, in short, is that the short leg equals 15 mm, the long leg equals 20 mm, and the hypotenuse equals 25mm. but if you'd like to see how I solved it, here are the steps.
-----------------------------
The Pythagorean theorem (also known as Pythagoras's Theorem) can be used to solve this. This theorem states that one leg or a right triangle squared plus the other side of that same triangle squared equals the hypotenuse of that triangle squared. To put it in equation form, L² + L² = H².

Let's call the longer leg B, the shorter leg A, and the hypotenuse H.
From the question, we know that A = B - 5, and H = B + 5. 

So if we put those values into an equation, we have (B - 5)² + B² = (B + 5)²

Now, to solve. Let's square the two terms in parentheses first:
(B² - 5B - 5B + 25) + B² = B² + 5B + 5B + 25

Now combine like terms:
2B² -10B + 25 = B² + 10B + 25

And now we simplify. Subtract 25 from each side:
2B² - 10B = B² + 10B

Subtract B² from each side:
B² - 10B = 10B

Add 10B to each side:
B² = 20B

And finally, divide each side by B:
B = 20

So that's the length of B. Now to find out A and H.
A = B - 5, so A = 15.
H = B + 5, so H = 25.

And your final answer is A = 15mm, B = 20mm, and H = 25mm

25.6% of what # is 21.12
laila [671]
To solve this problem, we are going to use the percent proportion, a/b = p/100, where a is the part of a number b, the whole, and p is the percentage out of 100.  
When we fill in our known integers into this equation, we get

21.12 / b = 25.6 / 100

Next, to simplify this equation, we should use cross products (means - extremes products theorem).  This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other fraction and setting them equal to one another.

21.12(100)=25.6(b)

When we multiply, you get

2112 = 25.6b

Finally, we divide both sides by 25.6, to get our variable b, alone, and without a coefficient.

82.5 = b

Therefore, 25.6% of the number 82.5 is 21.12.

Solve the quadratic equation.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

D 1 and -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8 {x}^{2}  + 16x + 8 = 0

divided by 8

{x}^{2}  + 2x + 1 = 0

(x+1)(x+1)=0

so x=+-1
