Jill's fish weighs 8 times as much as her parakeet. Together, the pets weigh 63 ounces. How much does the fish weigh?

2 answers:

7 0

Let $x$ be the weight of her parakeet. From this, we know that her fish weighs $8x$ .

$8x + x = 63$
$9x = 63$
$x = 7$

Her fish weighs 7 x 8 ounces = 56 ounces.

Let x =the weight of the parakeet. 8x=weight of the fish. x+8x=63 <-weight of fish and parakeet together equals 63 ounces. SOLVE FOR X. 9x=63. /9 /9 x=7 <-- parakeet weighs 7 ounces. 8x= 8(7). 8x7= 56. the fish weighs 56 ounces.

4.9t^2-2.78t-1.15=0 what is the value of T

zzz [600]

Answer:

t = 139/490 + sqrt(75671)/490 or t = 139/490 - sqrt(75671)/490

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for t:

4.9 t^2 - 2.78 t - 1.15 = 0

4.9 t^2 - 2.78 t - 1.15 = (49 t^2)/10 - (139 t)/50 - 23/20:

(49 t^2)/10 - (139 t)/50 - 23/20 = 0

Multiply both sides by 10/49:

t^2 - (139 t)/245 - 23/98 = 0

Add 23/98 to both sides:

t^2 - (139 t)/245 = 23/98

Add 19321/240100 to both sides:

t^2 - (139 t)/245 + 19321/240100 = 75671/240100

Write the left hand side as a square:

(t - 139/490)^2 = 75671/240100

Take the square root of both sides:

t - 139/490 = sqrt(75671)/490 or t - 139/490 = -sqrt(75671)/490

Add 139/490 to both sides:

t = 139/490 + sqrt(75671)/490 or t - 139/490 = -sqrt(75671)/490

Add 139/490 to both sides:

Answer: t = 139/490 + sqrt(75671)/490 or t = 139/490 - sqrt(75671)/490

What’s the angle of cda

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

∠ CDA = 32.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the given figure attached to this answer.

Draw perpendiculars from B and C on AD which is BE and CF.

Now, Δ ABE is a right triangle and AE² = AB² - BE² = 7.5² - 6² = 20.25

⇒ AE = 4.5 cm

Now, DF = AD - EF - AE = 24 - 10 - 4.5 = 9.5 cm {Since BC = EF}

And CF = BE = 6 cm.

Now, Δ CFD is a right triangle and

$\tan \beta =\frac{CF}{FD} = \frac{6}{9.5} = 0.6315$ {Where β = ∠ CDA}

⇒ $\beta = \tan^{-1} (0.6315)=32.27$ Degree.

So, ∠ CDA = 32.3° {Correct to one decimal place} (Answer)

Food allergies affect an estimated 7% of children under age 5 in the US. What is the probability that in a kindergarden class of

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies ≈ 0.58 ( approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Probability of a children under age 5 has food allergies = 7%

= $\frac{7}{100}$

To find : Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies

Probability of a chindren under age 5 does not have food allergies = $1-\frac{7}{100}$

⇒ prob = $\frac{93}{100}$

now we find Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies this means we have to find prob of 1 student, 2 student, 3 student, till 12 student have allergy out of 12 student of class then add all prob.

But instead of finding all these probability we find probability of student having no allergy.i.e., 0 student then subtract it from 1(total probability)

Probability of 0 student having allergy out of 12 student = $(\frac{93}{100})^{12}$
