Assuming : k=weight of kingfish, a=weight of amberjack, m=weight of white marlin, t=weight of tarpon
The sum of all four fish is 252, so k+a+m+t=252
the kingfish weighs twice as much as the amberjack, so 2a=k.
the marlin weighs twice as much as the kingfish, so 2k=m.
the tarpon weighs 5 times as much as the amberjack, so 5a=t.
Replace the terms k, m, and t: 2a+a+2k+5a=252. k=2a so 2a+a+2(2a)+5a=252. Combine like terms: 8a+4a=252, 12a=252. Divide both sides by 12: a=21. The amberjack weighs 21 pounds. From this, figure out the rest: k=2a=2(21)=42, m=2k=4a=4(21)=42, t=5(21)=105.
Concluding answer - The weights are: amberjack, 21 lbs; kingfish, 42 lbs; white marlin, 84 lbs; tarpon, 105 lbs.

Answer:

  1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg = 1000 g so your ratio is ...

  \dfrac{0.0064\text{ kg}}{32\text{ g}}=\dfrac{0.0064\cdot1000\text{ g}}{32\text{ g}}=\dfrac{6.4}{32}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{5}}

This is a pond in the shape of a prism. it is completely full of water colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes down
lapo4ka [179]

The required time is mathematically given as

t-150 minutes.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the time?</h3>

We know that the volume of the prism is given by.

Volume $=$ (Base Area $) \times$ Height

Base Area  $=\frac{1}{2} \times(1.4+0.6) \times 2$

Base Area $=2 \mathrm{~m}^2$

Now,

Volume $=2 \times 1=2 \mathrm{~m}^3$

Given that there is a twenty percent drop in the level of the pond during the first thirty minutes.

Because of this, the volume increases.

Volume $=2 \times 0.8=1.6 \mathrm{~m}^3

Now, the rate of emptying the tank is,

=\frac{2-1.6}{30}=\frac{1}{75} \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{min}

In conclusion, We also know that,

$$

\begin{aligned}&\text { time }=\frac{\text { volume }}{\text { rate }} \\&\text { time }=\frac{2}{\frac{1}{75}}-150 \mathrm{~min}\end{aligned}

Therefore, Colin must wait for the pond to drain for a total of 150 minutes.

To convert a distance of 12,000 feet to miles which ratio could you multiply by?
Elan Coil [88]
There are 5,280 feet in one mile. If you're converting feet to miles, the feet should be at the bottom so they cancel out. It would be B. :)
