Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of tetras be "t"

number of guppies be "g"

number of minnows be "m"

Ratio of tetras to guppies is 4:2, or reducing, 2:1. Thus we can write:

\frac{t}{g}=\frac{2}{1}\\t=2g

Ratio of minnows to guppies is 1:3, so we can write:

\frac{m}{g}=\frac{1}{3}\\g=3m

or, m = g/3

Also, total there are 60 fish, so we can write:

t + g + m = 60

or

2g + g + g/3 = 60

Solving this, we can solve for g. Shown below:

2g+g+\frac{g}{3}=60\\3g+\frac{g}{3}=60\\\frac{9g+g}{3}=60\\10g=180\\g=18

Now, finding t and m:

m = g/3 = 18/3 = 6

m = 6

and

t = 2g

t = 2(18)

t= 36

There are 36 tetras and 6 minnows. So, there are

36 - 6 = 30 more tetras than minnows

The following table shows a proportional relationship between mmm and nnn.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

70707mmm = 111nnn

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the basic equation of a line:

y = mx + c;. where m is slope and c is intercept on y axis.

Let mmm = y and nnn = x

(i) 333 = 212121m + c

(ii) 555 = 353535m + c

Making c the subject of the formula in both (i) and (ii)

c = 333 - 212121m = 555 - 353535m

353535m -212121m = 555 - 333

141414m = 222

m = 111/70707

Substitute in (i) above

c = 333 -333 = 0

Hence; y = 111/70707x + c

Finally, mmm = 111/70707 nnn

i.e. 70707mmm = 111nnn

Hope this helps.

Len has 3 strips of construction paper. Each strip is the same size and a different color-red, yellow, and pink. He tapes the st
Helen [10]

Answer:

2/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the rectangle strips are taped together to form a rectangle. Therefore 1 of the third of the rectangle would be red, this means that 1/3 of the rectangle would be red color. The rectangle is then divide into sixths, this can be achieved by dividing each of the taped strip into 2.

Therefore 2 of the sixths rectangle would be red in color, Hence the fraction of the rectangle that would be red is given as 2/6

To amend U.S. Constitution, 3/4 of the 50 states must approve the amendment. If 35 states approve an amendment, will the Constit
Elodia [21]
To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended
