Bridget went fishing with her dad. Bridget Bridget caught the first fish of the day, another was 2 more than 3 times the weight

of the first fish, the next was 1/2 the weight of the first fish, and the last was 3/5 the weight of the first fish.
Bridget's dad caught four fish. the first fish he caught weighed 2 more than 3 times a weight of the first fish caught that day. one fish weighed 4/5 in the weight of the first fish caught that day, one weighed 4 more than 2 times the weight of the first fish caught that day, and the last one weighed 1/2 the weight of the first caught that day.

if all the fish Bridget caught have the same total weight as the fish her dad caught, then the first fish Bridget caught weighed ____ ounces in the first fish her dad caught weighed ____ ounces.​

Answer:

Bridget's first fish =f = 5 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish weighs 17 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Bridget's fishes:

f ounces

2f ounces

3f+2 ounces

1/2f ounces

3/5f ounces

Total= f +2f + (3f+2) + 1/2f +3/5f

=3f + 3f + 2 + 5f+6f/10

=6f + 2 + 11f/10

=60f+11f/10 +2

=71/10f +2

Bridget's dad fishes

3f+2

4/5f

2f+4

1/2f

Total =(3f+2) + (2f+4) + 4/5f +1/2f

=3f+2+2f+4 + 8f+5f/10

=5f + 6 + 13/10f

= 50f+13f/10 + 6

=63/10f +6

Equate the total weight

71/10f +2=63/10f +6

Collect like terms

71/10f - 63/10f =6-2

71f-63f/10 = 4

8f/10=4

Cross product

8f=40

Divide both sides by 8

f=5

Bridget's first fish =f = 5 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish = 3f +2

=3(5)+2

=15+2

=17 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish weighs 17 ounces

Answer:  Graph D (bottom right corner)

======================================================

Explanation:

The equation y = 3x+3 is in slope intercept form y = mx+b

m = 3 = slope

b = 3 = y intercept

In this case, both the slope and y intercept are the same (though in general they tend not to be).

The positive slope value means the line goes uphill as you move from left to right. The positive y intercept means the diagonal line crosses the y axis somewhere above the horizontal x axis. Specifically, it crosses the y axis at y = 3

Graph D is the only graph that has such a line on it. Graphs A, B and C have the positive slope line where they have a negative y intercept, so we can rule them out.

You can use graphing tools such as Desmos or Geogebra to help confirm this answer. You could also make a table of values, and plot each point, to form the lines. Two points is the minimum amount needed to form any line.

Is the sequence 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4,.. A)arithmetic B) geometric C) both D)neither
Sonbull [250]
The given sequence is a geometric sequence. The property of geometric sequence is that each term is multiplied by a specific number known as "common ratio" to get the next term. In this case the common ratio is 1/2.
2 x 1/2 = 1
1 x 1/2 = 1/2
1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 
and so on..

The regular hexagon shown below has a perimeter of 30 and center C. What is the perimeter of triangle ABC.
Softa [21]

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a regular hexagon = 30 units

Length of one side = \frac{30}{6}

                                = 5 units

Interior angle of hexagon = \frac{(n-2)\times 180}{n}

                                           = \frac{(6-2)\times 180}{6}

                                           = 120°

BC is an bisector of the angle measuring 120°.

m∠ABC = 60°

Similarly, m∠BCA ≅ ∠CAB ≅ 60°

Therefore, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle.

By the property of equilateral triangle, all sides of the triangle will be equal in measure.

AB ≅ BC ≅ AC ≅ 5 units

Perimeter of triangle ABC = AB + BC + AC

                                           = 5 + 5 + 5

                                           = 15 units

Option (3) will be the answer.
