Robin wants to find out the number of salamanders by a pond near her house. She catches 45 of them, puts a leg band on each sala

mander, and puts them back by the pond. The next week, she catches 50 salamanders. Of those 50 salamanders, 3 have a leg band. Using this information, what is a reasonable estimate of the number of salamanders by the pond?

Given:
1st week: caught 45 salamanders and put leg bands on them
2nd week: caught 50 salamanders and 3 have leg bands

3/50 = 0.06 of the salamander population have leg bands.

45 / 0.06 = 750 total number of salamanders 

<span>45/750 = 0.06 or 6% </span>

The reasonable estimate of the number of salamanders by the pond is 750 salamanders.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables. Note that:

m = 7

r = 8

t = 2

mr/t = (7 * 8)/2

(7 * (8/2)) = 7 * 4 = 28

28 is your answer.

Jane spent 3 hours exploring a mountain with a dirt bike. First, she rode 55 miles uphill. After she reached the peak she rode f
Neko [114]

Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.
