Answer:
225 frogs
Step-by-step explanation:
Total population of frogs = 300 frogs.
Observed population of frogs = 24
6 of the 24 observed frogs had spots
Which means , the number of frogs that did not have spots = 24 - 6 = 18 frogs.
We were told to find how many of the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots. We would form a proportion.
If 24 frogs = 18 frogs with no spots
300 frogs = Y
Cross multiply
24Y = 300 × 18
Y = (300 × 18) ÷ 24
Y = 5400 ÷ 24
Y = 225 frogs.
This means out of 300 frogs, 225 frogs do not have spots.
Therefore, the total population that can be predicted to NOT have spots is 225 frogs.
the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots
Hi there!
From this problem we can pull out some key information and remove any excess.
- The trail is 1/4 of a mile long.
- Angelo rode around the trail 8 times.
- Angelo claims he rode 8/4 miles.
- Teresa claims he rode 2 miles.
From that we know that if Angelo rode around the trail 8 times and the trail is 1/4 a mile, he in total rode 8/4 of a mile.
However, Teresa claims he rode 2 miles!
And the answer is... they're both correct!
Angelo did indeed ride 8/4 miles however that is equivalent to 2 miles so they are both in the right.
Let
be an integer. Suppose there is a triangle with legs of length 16 and
. Then by the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse should be
The formulas for Pythagorean triples say that if the legs are integers, then so must be the hypotenuse, because if
and
are integers, then so are
,
, and
.
However,
is not a perfect square trinomial, which means for any integer
, the length of the hypotenuse is not an integer, so such a triangle doesn't exist.
