I do believe that the answer is 900. 
Steps:
I first set up a proportion, with 8/100 and 72/x (x being the number we are trying to find) 
As I was taught, you multiply 100 by 72, which equals 7,200.
Then, I divided 7,200 by 8, which gave me 900.
This is what the proportion process should have looked like:
8/100    72/x
7,200/8
x=900
I hope this helps!

during the winter months, freshwater fish sense the water getting colder and swim to the bottom of lakes and rivers to find warm
Jlenok [28]

Answer: 28 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: During the winter months, freshwater fish sense the water getting colder and swim to the bottom of lakes and rivers to find warmer water.

The total depth of the lake = 32 feet

Since, fish swims 7/8 of the depth, then the depth of lake to which the fish swim=\frac{7}{8}\times32\ feet

Since, 32\div8=4

therefore, \frac{7}{8}\times32=7\times4=28

Hence, the fish swim 28 feet in lake.

The graph of f(x) = x2 is translated to form g(x) = (x – 5)2 + 1. Which graph represents g(x)?
levacccp [35]
<span>The graph would be translated 5 units right and 1 unit up, giving an upward facing parabola with a vertex at (5, 1).

Explanation:
Since 5 was subtracted from x before it was squared, this means a horizontal translation 5 units. Since it was subtracted, this means it was translated right 5 units.

The 1 added at the end means it was translated 1 unit up as well.

This is in vertex form, y=a(x-h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex; h corresponds with 5 and k corresponds with 1, so the vertex is at (5, 1).</span>

A bowl contains 4 tangerines and 5 clementines. John randomly selects one piece of fruit, and then Pam randomly selects one of t
andre [41]

Answer:

5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 pieces of fruit in the bowl,  tangerines and 5 clementines.

Assuming that they do not put the fruit back

P (tangerine) = number of tangerines/ total = 4/9

Then John keeps his and there are  8 pieces of fruit in the bowl,  

3 tangerines and 5 clementines.

P (Clementine) = number of clementines/ total = 5/8

P (tangerine, no replacement, Clementine) = P (tangerine) * P (Clementine)

                                                                        = 4/9 * 5/8 =5/18
