Total of 90 fish:

c + p = 90

Charlie gave 1/4 c to Peter. Now

Charlie has c - (1/4) c

Peter has p + (1/4) c

Peter gave 2/5 of his to Charlie. Now

Peter has p + (1/4) c - 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

Charlie has c - (1/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

And then they had equal number:

c - (1/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c ) = p + (1/4) c - 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

Let's do the easy subtractions then multiply by 20 to clear the fractions,

(3/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c ) = 3/5( p + (1/4) c )

15c + 8p + 2c = 12p + 3c

14c = 4p

7c = 2p

c + p = 90

2c + 2p = 180

2c + 7c = 180

9c = 180

c = 20

p = 70

Answer: Charlie started with 20, Peter with 70

Check:

Initially C:20, P:70

1/4(20)=5 to P

C:15, P:75

(2/5) 75 = 30 to C

C:45, P45

A heap of grain is shaped as a cone ADCF with height 5 m and base radius 2 m, as shown on the diagram. A and C are points on the

hoa [83]

Answer:

The angle between [A_F] and the base of the cone = 68.2°

The area of the base of the cone ≈ 12.57 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the cone = 5 m

The base radius of the cone = 2 m

The angle which the A $\hat O$ C = 120°

Therefore, we have;

The angle between [A_F] and the base of the cone = The angle between [CF] and the base of the cone

The angle between [CF] and the base of the cone = tan⁻¹(5/2) = tan⁻¹(2.5) ≈ 68.2°

∴ The angle between [A_F] and the base of the cone = The angle between [CF] and the base of the cone = 68.2°

The angle between [A_F] and the base of the cone = 68.2°

The area of the base of the cone = π × r² = π × 2² = 4·π ≈ 12.57

The area of the base of the cone ≈ 12.57 m².

41x0x3 what property is this

Drupady [299]

The Multiplication Property of Zero.

It states "the product of any number and zero is zero". Even if there are more than one multiplier - it is still 0.

So 5 x 0 = 0

100 x 0 = 0

41 x 0 x 3 = 0

etc.

Which events have a probability of 25 percent? Select three options.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

choosing a green jelly bean out of a bag that contains 2 green jelly beans, 1 red jelly bean, and 5 yellow jelly beans

spinning a number less than 2 on a spinner that has four equal sections numbered from 1 to 4

choosing a spade out of a standard deck of cards that contains 13 hearts, 13 clubs, 13 diamonds, and 13 spades

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

choosing a green jelly bean out of a bag that contains 2 green jelly beans, 1 red jelly bean, and 5 yellow jelly beans

2 green jelly beans in a set of 2+5+1 = 8 jelly beans

2/8 = 0.25.

So this is one of the options.

rolling a number less than 3 on a six-sided die

2 options(1 or 2) out of 6 possible values

2/6 = 0.3333...

So this is not one of the options.

spinning a number less than 2 on a spinner that has four equal sections numbered from 1 to 4

1 options(1) out of four possible sections(1,2,3,4)

1/4 = 0.25

So this is one of the options.

choosing an Oregon state quarter out a bag that contains 4 California state quarters, 3 Oregon state quarters, 6 Texas state quarters, and 3 New York state quarters

3 Oregon quarters out of 4+3+6+3 = 16 quarters

3/16 = 0.1875

Not one of the options

choosing a spade out of a standard deck of cards that contains 13 hearts, 13 clubs, 13 diamonds, and 13 spades

13 cards(spades) out of a set of 52 cards

13/52 = 0.25

So this is the final option
