Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
2/9 is less than 2/5 because since the denominator is larger, the pieces are smaller. (Numerator)
If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:
20/x = 40/100
20/x = 4/10
20/x = 2/5
x = 50.
Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.
Answer: the population after 5 years is 10814
Step-by-step explanation:
The population growth of the deer is exponential. We would apply the formula for determining exponential growth which is expressed as
A = P(1 + r)^t
Where
A represents the population after t years.
n represents the period of growth
t represents the number of years.
P represents the initial population.
r represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
P = 10289
r = 1% = 1/100 = 0.01,
t = 5 years
Therefore,
A = 10289(1 + 0.01)^5
A = 10289(1.01)^5
A = 10814
Answer:
261.5 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface Area of a rectangular prism = Length x Width x Height
= 8.5ft x 6ft x 5.5ft
= 261.5 ft
