Well, here is how i would do it.
We start with 225, at a rate of 15% per year. Assuming your answers are in years and not months, we will increase by this increment; years.
So, we start with 225, and a 15%, or .15, increase. So what we would do, it take 225 times .15. One way ive learned to do this (via algebra class) is that you can times it by 1.15 to make it quicker, this just takes out the adding step.
So after one year, we would have a total of 258.75, or about 259 wolves.
after two years, we would have about 298 (we cant have a half of a wolf!)
after 3 years, we would have about 343 wolves.
after 4 years, we would have about 394 ish
after 5 years, we would have about 453
after 6 years, we would have about 521.
So, it would take about 5 and a half years, if thats an option choice.
Answer:
15cm by 20cm by 25cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides of the right angle be x, y and h
x is the breadth
y is the height
h is the hypotenuse
Perimeter = x + y + h
x + y +h = 60
x+y = 60-h .... 1
If its area is equal to 150 square cm, then;
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 *x * y
xy/2 = 150
xy = 300 ....2
According to pythagoras theorem;
x² + y² = h²
On expanding x² + y²
x² + y² = (x+y)² - 2xy
The equation becomes
(x+y)² - 2xy = h² ... 3
Substitute equation 1 and 2 into 3;
From 3;
(x+y)² - 2xy = h² ... 3
(60-h)² - 2(300) = h²
3600-120h + h² - 600 = h²
3600-120h - 600 = 0
-120h = 600-3600
-120h = -3000
h = 3000/120
h = 25cm
Recall that x+y+h = 60
x+y+25 = 60
x+y = 60 - 25
x+y = 35 ... 4
From equation 2;
xy = 300
x = 300/y ..... 5
Substitute 5 into 4;
300/y + y = 35
(300+y²)/y = 35
300+y² = 35y
y²-35y + 300 = 0
y²-20y-15y + 300 = 0
y(y-20)-15(y-20) = 0
y-20 = 0 and y - 15 =0
y = 20 and 15
since x+y = 35
x + 20 = 35
x = 35 - 20
x = 15
Hence the sides of the triangle are 15cm by 20cm by 25cm
Answer: 3/4
Step-by-step explanation: Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the divison sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
So here, 3/8 divided by 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/8 × 2/1.
Now we are simply multiplying fractions so we multiply across the numerators and we multiply across the denominators.
So we have 3 × 2 which is 6 and 8 × 1 which is 8. Since 6/8 is not in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 which is 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 3/4.
Therefore, 3/8 divided by 1/2 is 3/4.
Answer:
Graph 1: 2/9, 2: 1/2 3: 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope you do y2-y1/x2-x1 (rise over run). For graph 1, y2=2, y1=0. x2=9,x1=0. 2-0=2, 9-0=0, so the overall slope is 2/9
