Answer:

Around 217 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the height into inches.

5 feet 8 = 5\cdot12 + 8 = 60 + 8 = 68

6 feet = 6\cdot12 = 72.

We can set up a proportion

\frac{205}{68} = \frac{x}{72}

We can use the cross products property to find x.

205\cdot72=14760\\\\\\14760\div68\approx217

Hope this helped!

Answer:

217.0588235 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert ft inches to inches

5 ft = 5*12 = 60 inches

5 ft 8 inches = 68 inches

6 ft = 6*12 = 72 inches

We can use ratios to solve

205 lbs        x lbs

------------- = ----------------

68 inches     72 inches

Using cross products

205 * 72 = 68x

Divide by 68

205 *72/68 = x

217.0588235 lbs

The amount of trout y (in tons) caught in a lake from 1995 to 2014 can be modeled by the equation y = -0.08x2 + 1.6x + 10, where
Lapatulllka [165]
For this case, the first thing we want to do is substitute the value of y = 15 in the equation.
 We have then:
 15 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x + 10
 Rewriting we have:
 0 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x + 10 - 15
 0 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x - 5
 The solutions are:
 x1 = 3.876275643042054
 x2 = 16.123724356957947
 Nearest whole number:
 x1 = 4
 x2 = 16
 were about 15 tons of trout caught in the lake in the years:
 1995 + 4 = 1999
 1995 + 16 = 2011
 Answer:
 The year 1999 and the year 2011

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that x and y are proportional, they can be expressed as y = rx, where r is the proportionality constant. Thus, we can solve for r by doing y/x in any given point.

\frac{8}{1.6} = \frac{15}{3}  = \frac{22}{4.4} = 5
