Answer:

The average weight of a newborn otter is 1.775 kg.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Weight of newborn otter =

\dfrac{7}{8}\text{ kg}

Let x lg be the average weight of a newborn otter.

Thus, we are given the relation:

\dfrac{7}{8} = x - \dfrac{9}{10}\\\\x = \dfrac{7}{8} + \dfrac{9}{10}\\\\x = \dfrac{35+36}{40} = \dfrac{71}{40}\\\\x = 1.775\text{ kg}

Thus, the average weight of a newborn otter is 1.775 kg.

Como podríamos saber cuantos camellos le corresponden a cada hermano en realidad
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Eldest brother = 18 camels

2nd brother = 12 camels

Youngest brother = 4 camels

Step-by-step explanation:

Question posted:

How could we know how many camels actually correspond to each brother?

It is from "the man who calculated":

The question is incomplete without the background information.

Based on the question, It has to do with sharing an inheritance of 35 camels among 3 brothers.

"The man who calculated", by Malba Tahan.

Since the complete question isn't available, we are going to look at the following question to understand how to do the calculation.

Question:

How can an inheritance of 35 camels be divided among three brothers in such a way that the eldest brother gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3 of the total and the youngest brother gets 1/9 of the total camels?

Solution:

Total number of camels= 35

Eldest brother gets half: 1/2 of 35 gives a fraction and not an whole number

2nd brother = 1/3 of 35 (gives a fraction)

3rd brother = 1/9 of 35 (gives a fraction)

Since we can't have a camel in fraction except in whole number, we would look for the closest number to 35 that would be divided by 2, 3 and 9 respectively without giving a fraction.

Number 36 is the closest number to 35 that satisfies this condition.

1st brother = 1/2 × 36 = 18 camels

2nd brother = 1/3 × 36 = 12 camels

3rd brother = 1/9 × 36 = 4 camels

Now let's add the camels the 3 brother got together = 18 + 12 + 4 = 34 camels

Total camels - amount shared = 35 -34 = 1

Meaning one camel is remaining. The distributor would keep the remaining one as that's the way such distributions could be achieved.

Which is one of the transformations applied to the graph of f(x) = x2 to change it into the graph of g(x) = 9x2 – 36X?
Fiesta28 [93]
Assuming I understand your question correctly, in that you’re looking for just some descriptions of the differences between the functions. If so, then I’d say:

First graph both functions, the f(x) and the g(x). Then spot the differences.
Note that the g(x) function has shifted towards the right compared with the f(x) function.
Another way that the g(x) differs from the f(x) function is that it’s stretched. The vertex is in the IV quadrant for g(x) rather than at the origin for f(x).

I hope that helps.
