A 12,000-lb killer whale might eat as much as 14,000 lb of fish per month (assume a 30-day month). If the average weight of a ce

rtain type of fish is 3.4 oz, estimate how many of these fish a killer whale would eat in a day.† (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

2196 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of fish that the killer whale might eat in a month (30 days) = 14,000 lb

Weight of the fish that killer whale might eat in a day = \frac{14000}{30} = \frac{1400}{3} lb.

Average weight of the fish that killer whale eats = 3.4 oz

Since,

1 pound(lb) = 16 ounces(oz)

So,

Weight of the fish that killer whale might eat in a day in ounces(oz) = \frac{1400}{3} \times 16=\frac{22400}{3} oz

Since, a certain fish weighs 3.4 oz, in order to find the number of fish that killer whale must eat, we must divide the total weight in ounces by 3.4 ounces.

So, the number of fish that killer whale would eat = \frac{22400}{3} \div 3.4 = 2196 fish

Thus, the killer whale needs to eat 2196 fish.

Hallie can use the equation p = 4l + 4w + 4h to determine the sum of the lengths of the edges of a rectangular prism. She begins
Zanzabum

The expression Hallie wrote is not clear, because if 0 is the only number that satisfies p = 4l + 4w + 4h = l + w + h.

But if you meant to write:

p = 4l + 4w + 4h

p/4 = l + w + h

then she could get something different.

Answer:

The expression (w + h) + p/4 should follow the subtraction if Hallie's equation is

p = 4l + 4w + 4h

p/4 = l + w + h

h = -

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve Hallie's problem.

She can use the equation:

p = 4l + 4w + 4h

to determine the sum of the lengths of the edges of a rectangular prism. Because she begin to solve the equation for h, let us solve for h.

This means we are trying to make h the subject of the formula.

p = 4l + 4w + 4h

When you factor out 4 on the right hand side, you have

p = 4(l + w + h)

Dividing both side by 4, we have

p/4 = l + w + h

Now, subtracting (l + w) from both sides, we have

p/4 - (l + w) = h.

This can be written as:

h = - (l + w) + p/4

And that is what Hallie wanted to obtain.
