If you would like to know how many of each type of fish did Carlos buy, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x ... the number of angelfish
y ... the number of parrotfish
405 tropical fish bought
8 times as many parrotfish as angelfish ... 8 * y = x

405 = x + y
405 = 8 * y + y
405 = 9 * y
y = 405 / 9
y = 45 parrotfish

x = 8 * y = 8 * 45 = 360 angelfish

The correct result would be 45 parrotfish and 360 angelfish.

Which comparison is correct?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Option B: $4.5 \times 10^{-6}>3.9 \times 10^{-9}$ is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Option A: $7.1 \times 10^{8}>1.2 \times 10^{9}$

Simplifying, we get,

$710000000>1200000000$

Since, the value of $1.2 \times 10^{9}$ is greater than $7.1 \times 10^{8}$ , the comparison $7.1 \times 10^{8}>1.2 \times 10^{9}$ is false.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: $4.5 \times 10^{-6}>3.9 \times 10^{-9}$

Simplifying, we get,

$0.0000045>0.0000000039$

Since, the value of $4.5 \times 10^{-6}$ is greater than $3.9 \times 10^{-9}$ , the comparison $4.5 \times 10^{-6}>3.9 \times 10^{-9}$ is true.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: $$2.4 \times 10^{-5}$

Simplifying, we get,

$0.000024$

Since, the value of $2.4 \times 10^{-5}$ is greater than $5.7 \times 10^{-6}$ , the comparison $$2.4 \times 10^{-5}$ is false.

Hence, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: $$8.2 \times 10^{-4}$

Simplifying, we get,

$0.00082$

Since, the value of $8.2 \times 10^{-4}$ is greater than $3.6 \times 10^{-6}$ , the comparison $$8.2 \times 10^{-4}$ is false.

Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.

Write the equation of the line that passes through (5, 6) and (8, 4) in slope-intercept form.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Equation of the line in slope- intercept form:</h3>

$\sf \boxed{\bf y = mx +b}$

Here, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Find the slope with the given two points.

$\sf \boxed{slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

$\sf =\dfrac{4-6}{8-5}\\\\=\dfrac{-2}{3}$

Slope = -2/3 and choose any one the given points.

Substitute m = -2/3 and (5,6) in the above equation and find 'b'

$\sf 6 =\dfrac{-2}{3}*5+b\\\\6 =\dfrac{-10}{3}+b\\\\6+\dfrac{10}{3}=b\\\\\dfrac{6*3}{1*3}+\dfrac{10}{3}=b\\\\\dfrac{18}{3}+\dfrac{10}{3}=b\\\\\boxed{b=\dfrac{28}{3}}$

Equation of the line:

$y = \dfrac{-2}{3}x + \dfrac{28}{3}$
