12 inches go into one foot, so we can calculate the volume of the tank in inches to make the calculations that follow easier. Therefore, to calculate the volume of the tank, we use length x breadth x height = 4 x 2 x 2 = 16 square feet x 12 for square inches = 192 square inches. 
Every 12 square inches Joseph can fit a one inch fish. The fish that he has are 3 inches long, therefore he can only fit one fish every 36 square inches. 
That means that if we take the total volume of the tank and divide it by the space that a 3 inch fish will take up, we are left with 192/36 = 5.3 fish.
You cannot have a third of a fish, so we round off to the nearest whole number, and we determine that Joseph can put 5 fish in his new aquarium.

The prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively x, y, z, rupees per unit. Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X a
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

(x,y,z)=(1477, 1464, 1437)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the selling of the units positive earning and the purchasing of the units negative earning.

<h3>Case-1:</h3>
  • Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X and 5 units of Y
  • Mr.A earns Rs6000

So, the equation would be

3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000

<h3>Case-2:</h3>
  • Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of Z
  • Mr B neither lose nor gain meaning he has made 0₹

hence,

2x   - 3y  +  z = 0

<h3>Case-3:</h3>
  • Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of Z
  • Mr.C earns 13000₹

therefore,

- x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000

Thus our system of equations is

\begin{cases}3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000\\2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\\ - x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000\end{cases}

<u>Solving </u><u>the </u><u>system </u><u>of </u><u>equations</u><u>:</u>

we will consider elimination method to solve the system of equations. To do so ,separate the equation in two parts which yields:

\begin{cases}3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000\\2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\end{cases}\\\begin{cases}2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\\ - x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000\end{cases}

Now solve the equation accordingly:

\implies\begin{cases}11x-7y=6000\\-13x+22y=13000\end{cases}

Solving the equation for x and y yields:

\implies\begin{cases}x= \dfrac{223000}{151}\\\\y= \dfrac{221000}{151}\end{cases}

plug in the value of x and y into 2x - 3y + z = 0 and simplify to get z. hence,

\implies z= \dfrac{217000}{151}

Therefore,the prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively approximately 1477, 1464, 1437

Nancy shot a 24 on 4 holes of golf. At this rate, what can she expect her score to be if she plays all 18 holes?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

  108

Step-by-step explanation:

"At this rate, ..." means we're to assume Nancy's score is proportional to the number of holes:

  score/18 = 24/4

Multiplying by 18, we get ...

  score = 18(24/4) = 18(6) = 108

Nancy can expect a score of 108 on 18 holes.

Find the median of the following frequency distribution
solmaris [256]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

First right out all the data in numerical order from left to right.

2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7

The median is the middle number in the set.  If there is an even amount of data points, find the average of the two middle numbers.  If there is an odd number of data points, like in this data set, just take the middle number as you median.

There are 7 data points in this set so the fourth number in the set written in numerical order would be your median.

When writing this set out in numerical order, repeated numbers must be repeated, we find that the fourth, or middle, number is 3.  Therefore, 3 is the median of this data set.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-8) and has a slope of 1/3​
Arturiano [62]

y + 8 = 1/3 (x+6)

With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, , to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the  , , and  in the formula to do so.

The  represents the slope, so substitute  in its place. The  and  represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for  and -8 for . This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:
