Scientists want to know the total trout population in a part of Lake Michigan. They tagged and released 200 trouts back into the

wild. Later, they found 60 trouts in that same part of Lake Michigan, 10 of which were tagged. Estimate the total trout population in that part of Lake Michigan to the nearest whole number.

The estimate would be 1200.

We will set up a proportion for this.  10 out of 60 of the sample were tagged, so that is the first ratio.  The 200 that were tagged would be in the numerator of the second ratio (10 was the portion tagged, and 200 is the portion tagged, so they both go on top).  We do not know the total number so we use a variable:

10/60 = x/200

Cross multiply:

10*x = 60*200
10x = 12000

Divide both sides by 10:
10x/10 = 12000/10
x = 1200

Y= -3/5x - 2       Add -3/5x to both sides 
3/5x +y= -2        Multiply both sides by 5 because 5 is the denominator.
                        By multiplying by 5 you can cancel out and make it a real number. 
5(3/5x +y) = -2(5) 
 
   3x + 5y= -10  is the answer.

A garden in the shape of a right triangle is bordered on one side by a brick wall, on another side by a wooden fence, and on the
MAVERICK [17]
Let
x-----> the measure of the angle formed by the wooden fence and grass

we know that
in a right triangle
tan x=opposite side angle x/adjacent side angle x
opposite side angle x=13 ft
adjacent side angle x=21 ft
so
tan x=13/21x=arc tan (13/21)-----> x=31.76°------> x=32°

the answer is
32 degrees

PLEASE HELP DUE TOMORROW 1. An artist is selling children’s crafts. Necklaces cost 2.25 each and bracelets cost 1.50 per each. a
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost per bracelet = 1.50

Cost per necklace = 2.25

Let :

number of necklace = n

Number of bracelet = b

Cost equation C ;

C = 1.5b + 2.25n

Number of necklace that could be sold for exactly $12

5 necklaces and 1 bracelet :

1.5 + 2.25(5) = 12.75

•2 necklaces and 5 bracelets:

1.5(5) + 2.25(2) = 12

• 3 necklaces and 3 bracelets

1.5(3) + 2.25(3) = 11.25

• 4 necklaces and 2 bracelets

1.5(2) + 2.25(4) = 12

• 3 necklaces and 5 bracelets

1.5(5) + 2.25(3) = 14.25

• 6 necklaces and no bracelets •

1.5(0) + 2.25(6) = 13.5

No necklaces and 8 bracelets

1.5(8) + 2.25(0) = 12

Amount charged per Tshirt = c

Setup fee = $40

Number of students in drama club = 21

Total cost of order = $187

Calculate C ;

Total order cost = set up fee + (cost per shirt * number of shirts)

Total order cost = 40 + 21c

187 = 40 + 21c

187 - 40 = 21c

147 = 21c

c = 147 / 21

C = 7

Hence cost per shirt = $7
