A total of 30 percent of the geese included in a certain migration study were male. If some of the geese migrated during the stu

dy and 20 percent of the migrating geese were male, what was the ratio of the migration rate for the male geese to the migration rate for the female geese? [Migration rate for geese of a certain sex = (number of geese of that sex migrating) / (total number of geese of that sex)]A. 1/4B. 7/12C. 2/3D. 7/8E. 8/7

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>(B). </u></em>\frac{7}{12}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Let the total number of geese be = 100x

Number of Male geese = 30% = 30x

Number of Female Geese = 70x

Let us say 'kx' geese migrated from these geese.

Number of migrated Male geese = 20% of kx = kx/5

Number of migrated Female geese = 4kx/5

So,

<u>Migration rate of Male geese</u> is given by,

\frac{(\frac{kx}{5})}{30x}

<u>Migration rate of Female geese</u> is given by,

\frac{(\frac{4kx}{5})}{70x}

So,

The ratio of Migration rate of Male geese to that of Female geese is given by,

\frac{\left[\frac{(\frac{kx}{5})}{30x}\right]}{\left[\frac{(\frac{4kx}{5})}{70x}\right]}=\frac{350}{4\times 150}=\frac{7}{12}

Therefore, the<em><u> ratio of the rate of migration of Male geese to that of Female geese is,</u></em>

\frac{7}{12}

<em><u>Hence, the correct option is (B).</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

G(1)=2.7 <br> g(n)=g(n-1)*6.1 <br> find an explicit formula for g(n)
Ksju [112]

By substitution,

g(2)=6.1g(1)

g(3)=6.1g(2)=6.1^2g(1)

g(4)=6.1g(3)=6.1^3g(1)

and so on, so that

[tex]g(n)=6.1^{n-1}g(1)=2.7\cdot6.1^{n-1}

An individual purchased 300 program licenses; 50 licenses will go to the satellite office out of state, and the remaining licens
laila [671]

Answer:We DO NOT HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION needed to solve for how many licenses each central office department will get.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, if this very individual acquired about 300 program licenses and 50 licenses are taken or conveyed to the departments in the satellite office of the same organization, then the number of licenses that will be moved to the central office is:

300 - 50

= 250 licenses.

This implies that 250 licenses will be moved to the central office while 50 licenses will be kept/used at the satellite office.

Then, if there are eight (8) departments in the central office of this organization and 250 licenses will be evenly or equally distributed among the departments, each department will get:

250/8

= 31.25 licenses.

Since dividing 250 by 8 does not give a perfect integer, then there's an information we are yet to be furnished with. If 31 is multiplied by 8, it will give 248 which means that 2 licenses will be the remainder. If these 2 remaining licenses are shared equally between the 8 departments, one department will further get quarter of a license and we know licenses can't be shared or used in this manner.

Alternatively, of the 2 licenses remaining, two departments will have an extra license or one of the departments will have the 2 licenses which will now make the license distribution in the central office uneven.

So, we don't have all the information we need to solve for how many licenses each central office department will get.
