Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

There are 7.25 pounds in 116 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 1 pound equals 16 ounces.

We have to calculate the number of pounds in 116 ounces.

UNITARY METHOD is a method used to calculate the value of a single unit and then multiply it with the desired unit.

Since, given 16 ounces makes 1 pound

So, 1 ounces makes $\frac{1}{16}$ pounds

We have to find the number of pounds in 116 ounces.

So, 116 ounces makes $\frac{1}{16}\times 116$ pounds

Simplify, $\frac{1}{16}\times 116=7.25$

Thus, There are 7.25 pounds in 116 ounces.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conversation Commission (FWC) plans to hire hunters to kill the Burmese python, an invasive specie

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

FWOC should hire 70,000 hunters to completely remove the python in the area

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given that the Initial Pythons $P_o=$ 100,000

And the final python $P_f$ $=100,000+\frac{P}{10,000}(100,000-P)$

$P_f = 100,000 + 10P -\frac{P^2}{10,000}$

For Max Number of Python

=> $\frac{dP_f}{dP} = 0$

=> $\frac{dP_f}{dP} =$ $100,000 -2P = 0$

=> $P = 50,000$

Hence the maximum number of pythons $Max_P$ $=100,000 +\frac{50,000}{10,000} (50,000)$

$=350,000$

Using Mathematical relations

from the Question

5 python is killed by = 1 hunter

1 python is killed by = $\frac{1}{5} \ hunters$

350 , 000 pythons are killed by = $\frac{350,000}{5}$

$= 70,000 \ hunters$

(2) The triangle has an area of 7 & 7/8 cm2 and a base of 5 & 1/4 cm. What is the

Andrew [12]

Answer:

h = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here A = 7 $\frac{7}{8}$ = $\frac{63}{8}$ ← expressed as an improper fraction

and b = 5 $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{21}{4}$ , thus

$\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{21}{4}$ × h = $\frac{63}{8}$ , that is

$\frac{21}{8}$ h = $\frac{63}{8}$

Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions

21h = 63 ( divide both sides by 21 )

h = 3
