1 Amberjack 
Kingfish equals 2 Amberjacks
Marlin equals 2 Kingfish or 4 Amberjacks
Tarpon equals 5 AmberJacks

So:
1A plus 2A plus 4A plus 5A equals the 252.
(where A is weight of the AmberJack).

Therefore:
12A equals 252, and A is 21. (252/12 = 21)

Then:
The Amberjack is 21Ibs.
The Kingfish (twice as much as A) is 42Ibs.
The Marlin (four times A) is 84Ibs.
And the Tarpon (five times A) is 105Ibs. 

To Check:
21 + 42 + 84 + 105 = 252

Answer:

The kingfish weighed 72 pounds, the amberjack weighed 36 pounds, the white marline weighed 144 pounds and the tarpon weighed 180 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following fish were caught:

Kingfish, amberjack and white marlin

Let a=pounds of kingfish, b=pounds of amberjack and c=pounds of white marlin and let d=pounds of tarpin

From the information we know that a=2*b, c=2*a, d=5*b

Let y= the total weighed fish = a+b+c = 252  

Therefore we can write y in terms of a:

y=252=a+a/2+2*a

we can solve a which is:

a=252/3.5=72

we can solve b as b=a/2=72/2=36 and therefore c=2*a=72*2=144 and d=5*b=5*36=180

So then y= a+b+c =  72+36+144 = 252 pounds of fish

The kingfish weighed 72 pounds, the amberjack weighed 36 pounds, the white marline weighed 144 pounds and the tarpon weighed 180 pounds.

Consider this right triangle.<br> 21<br> 29<br> 20<br> Enter the ratio equivalent to s
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Part 1) sin(B)=\frac{21}{29}

Part 2) csc(A)=\frac{29}{20}

Part 3) cot(A)=\frac{21}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Consider this right triangle. 21 29 20 Write the ratio equivalent to: Sin B - CscA- Cot B

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Part 1) Write the ratio equivalent to: Sin B

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

sin(B)=\frac{AC}{AB} ----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the values

sin(B)=\frac{21}{29}

Part 2) Write the ratio equivalent to: Csc A

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

csc(A)=\frac{1}{sin(A)}

sin(A)=\frac{BC}{AB} -----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the values

sin(A)=\frac{20}{29}

therefore

csc(A)=\frac{29}{20}

Part 3) Write the ratio equivalent to: Cot A

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

cot(A)=\frac{1}{tan(A)}

tan(A)=\frac{BC}{AC} -----> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

substitute the values

tan(A)=\frac{20}{21}

therefore

cot(A)=\frac{21}{20}

How many tenths are in 3ones
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Each one has 10 tenths, so 3 ones have 30 tenths.

You can do this by dividing 3 by 1/10.

3/(1/10) = 3/1 * 10/1 = 30/1 = 30
