X equals weight of permit fish
x + 10X = 132
11x = 132
x= 12

permit fish= 12
tarpon=120

x \rightarrow the \ weight \ of \ permit \ fish \\ 10x \rightarrow tarpon \\  \\ x+10x=132 \\ 11x=132 \\ x= \frac{132}{11}  \\ x=12 \\  \\ The \ weight \ of \ permit \ fish \ is \ 12. \\ The \ weight \ of \ the \ tarpon \ is \ 12 \times10=120 \\  \\  \\ Checking : 12+120=132

Answer:

\huge\boxed{Center = (3,3),Radius = 2\sqrt{15} }

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given equation is</em></u>

x^2 + y^2 -6x-6y -42 = 0

Adding 42 to both sides

x^2 + y^2 -6x-6y = 42\\

Completing squares

x^2 -6x+y^2 -6x = 42\\(x)^2 - 2(x)(3) +y^2 - 2(y)(3) = 42

Adding (3)² => 9 and (3)² => 9 to both sides

(x-3)^2+(y-3)^2 = 42+9+9\\(x-3)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 60\\(x-3)^2  (y-3)^2 = (2{\sqrt{15})^2}

Comparing it with (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2 where Center = (h,k) and Radius = r

We get:

Center = (3,3)

Radius = 2\sqrt{15}

A ship travels 62.5 km in 1st hour of sailing. Starting from 2nd hour, the distance travelled per hour is x% of that in the prec
Bas_tet [7]
Speed of the ship in the second hour =  (62.5 * x ) / 100  kph.

In third hour it is  [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]

is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again  so we can now form the equation

62.5x      x          x
------- *   ----  *  ----    =  32
100      100      100

62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 =  512,000
x = 80 <-----  Answer  to (a)

(b)  Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then  this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence 

Dist travelled in 6 hours  =  a1  1 - r^n
                                                --------  = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56

                                               1 - r

Answer is    230.56 km

Which simplified fraction is equal to 0.53 repeat ? A.24/46 B.8/15 C.42/90 D.5/9
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

To see how these fractions are equal, I divided the numerators by the denominators. For instance, you could have 4 over 5 (4/5) and divide 4 by 5 (4/5) to get 0.8. Now you'll do the same thing for the fractions given

24/45=0.533...

8/15=0.533...

48/90=0.533...

5/9=0.5556

As you can see, the only fraction that doesn't equal 0.53, or the outlier, is 5/9 or 0.5556

Helga [31]
0.10(5000) = 500
0.15(10,000) = 1500

total commission on 15,000 = (150 + 500) = 2,000

The weight for crates of apples is normally distributed with a mean weight of 34.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

42.22% probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 34.6, \sigma = 2.8

What is the probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 35 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 31. So

X = 35

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{35 - 34.6}{2.8}

Z = 0.14

Z = 0.14 has a pvalue of 0.5557

X = 31

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{31 - 34.6}{2.8}

Z = -1.11

Z = -1.11 has a pvalue of 0.1335

0.5557 - 0.1335 = 0.4222

42.22% probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds
