Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

If 60% are yellow, the other 40% are green. Then the difference between yellow and green is 60% -40% = 20% of the total number of fish. That difference also happens to be half of the number of green fish:

  20% = (1/2)(40%)

So, the number of green fish is 2×3 = 6.

_____

If you wanted to, you could write a couple of equations:

  y - g = 3

  y = 0.60(y +g)

Using the first equation to write an expression for y, we get ...

  y = g +3

Using this in the second equation, we have ...

  g +3 = 0.6(g +3 +g)

  g +3 = 1.2g +1.8 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  1.2 = 0.2g . . . . . . . .  subtract g+1.8

  1.2/0.2 = g = 6 . . . . . divide by 0.2

There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.

Megan has a large packing box shaped as a cube with a volume of 216 cubic feet.
Flura [38]

Answer:

s = 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the cube, V = 216 feet³

We need to find the side length for the cubical box. We know that the volume of the cube is given by :

V=s^3, s is the side length of the box.

So,

s={V}^{1/3}\\\\s={216}^{1/3}\\\\s=6\ feet

So, the side length for the cubical box is equal to 6 feet.

rosijanka [135]
Using  S = ut + 1/2gt²,   from rest, u = 0

S = 1/2gt²,               g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

S = <span>1/2 *9.8*3²

</span>S = 0.5<span> *9.8*3*3 
</span>
<span>S ≈ 44.1 m</span>
