75lbs of food = 15% tiger's food weight
? lbs tiger= 100% tiger's body weight

So you want to take the amount of food (75lbs), divide it by the amount of the tiger's food weight (15%) and then multiply it by it's total body weight (100%)
So 75 / 15 = 5
and 5 x 100 = 500
so the tiger = 500lbs

6. A prism has bases that are equilateral triangles with sides lengths of 10 inches and a length of 30 inches.

Answer:

The volume of the prism is $1,299\ in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the prism is equal to

$V=BL$

where

B is the area of the triangular base

L is the length of the prism

we have

$L=30\ in$

Find the area of the base B

The area of a equilateral triangle is equal to

$B=\frac{1}{2}(10)^{2} sin(60\°)$

$B=25\sqrt{3}\ in^{2}$

substitute

$V=(25\sqrt{3})(30)=1,299\ in^{3}$
