The population of the town in 1982 is 29995.2.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

A ratio or value that may be stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. And it is represented by the symbol '%'.

Given, the population in 2020 is 49992.

40 percentage of population

= 40 % of 49992

= 40 x 49992/100

= 19996.8

Now the population in 1982

= population in 2020 - 40% of population in 1982

= 49992 - 19996.8

= 29995.2

Therefore the population in 1982 is 29995.2.

Joseph and Wendy were catching tadpoles. At first Wendy caught nine times three more than Joseph caught. Joseph was upset and re

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Find the length of the missing side. The triangle is not drawn to scale.

suter [353]

Answer:

D.) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle (since it is opposite the biggest angle). The two legs squared have to add up to the hypotenuse squared.

Fill in values:

$a^2+15^2=17^2$

Simplify exponents:

$a^2+225=289$

Isolate the variable. Subtract 225 from both sides:

$a^2+225-225=289-225\\a^2=64$

Find the square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{64}\\ a=8$

The missing leg length is 8.

Jackrabbits are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 mph. How fast is this in feet per second? (Round to the nearest whole number

Lerok [7]

Keeping in mind that there are 5280 ft in 1 mile, and there are 60 minutes in 1 hr and 60 seconds in 1 minute, therefore 60*60 seconds in 1 hr, or 3600 seconds, then.

$\bf \cfrac{40\underline{mi}}{\underline{hr}}\cdot \cfrac{5280ft}{\underline{mi}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{hr}}{3600s}\implies \cfrac{40\cdot 5280}{3600}\cfrac{ft}{s}\implies \cfrac{176}{3}\implies 58.\overline{66}\frac{ft}{s}$
