Upon calculating, the correct answer among the choices listed above is lake A and lake E. Both lakes have the same proportion of the numbers of crocodiles and alligators.

In the lake A, there are 4 crocodiles and 5 alligators giving a ratio of 4:5
In the lake E, there are 24 crocodiles and 30 alligators giving a ratio of 24:30

Since 4:5 = 24:30, we will prove it.

First, we need to transform both ratios into fraction form to make it easier.

4/5 = 24/30

The next thing to do is to find their decimal forms by dividing their numerators to their respective denominators.

<u>4 ÷ 5 = 0.8</u>
<u>24 ÷ 30 = 0.8</u>

Thus, giving us:

0.8 = 0.8 ; Therefore, lake A and lake E are of the same proportion.

Answer:

The first listed equation is the correct equation to solve

The correct answer is: t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me mention first that there is an error in the statement that the gravitational pull of the Earth is 16 ft/s^2. It is in fact 32 ft/s^2, and the actual equation uses half of the acceleration multiplied by the square of the variable time, so it gives as final expression :

y(t)=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400

and we want to find the value/s for "t" that make this equation equal zero (when it reaches the ground and the object just touches the ground. This makes the equation we want to solve:

0=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400\\16\,t^2+0\,t -400=0

which solving for "t" becomes:

16\,t^2-400 =0\\16\,t^2=400\\t^2=\frac{400}{16} \\t^2=25\\t= +/- 5\,\,sec

So we adopt the positive answer (positive time) since the negative value has no physical meaning for this problem.

That is: t = 5 seconds

Match the inequality to the graph of its solution.<br> a. n/4 ≤ -1<br> b. -10 ≥ -100<br> c. 5x ≥ 20
postnew [5]
<span>a. n/4 ≤ -1

Multiply both sides by 4 => n ≤ - 4, which is all the real numbers less or equal than - 4.

That in the real number line is all the numbers to the left of - 4 (including  -4)

The matching graph is the B.


b. -10n ≥ -100

Divide both sides by - 10 => n ≤ 10

That is all the real numbers less or equal than 10.

In the real number line it is all the numbers to the left of 10, including 10.

So, the matching graph is the A.


c. 5x ≥ 20

Divide both sides by 5 => x ≥ 4

That is all the real numbers greater or equal to 4.

In the real number line it is all the numbers to the right of 4, including 4.

The matching graph is C.</span>
