A lake has 10,000 fish.when a fishman scoops up his net ,he catches 500 fish. Suppose 150 of the 500 fish in his net are salmon.

how many salmon do you predict are in the lake?

You need x 20 to get to 10000, so do the same with 150 and get 3000, so it is 3000/10000

Answer:3000

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{150}{500} =\frac{x}{10000}$

cross multiply and you will come up with 1500000/500x

once you simply that, you get x+3000

If y varies inversely as x and y=3 when x=14, find x when y=6

alukav5142 [94]

X=7 What you can do is look at the first two values given, and make them x1 and y1. Then your next value here is y2.

So x1 is 14, and y1 is 3. y2 becomes 6. X2 is unknown.

Then make the formula: x1/y2 is equal to x2/y1
(You are setting two fractions equal to each other)

That makes 14/6=X/3. When we cross multiply, we find that x=7.

Suppose that LMN is isosceles with base LN suppose that M

ira [324]

Given:

In an isosceles triangle LMN, LM=MN.

$m\angle M=(3x+17)^\circ,m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$

To find:

The measure of the angles L, M and N.

Solution:

In triangle LMN,

$LM=MN$ (Given)

$m\angle N=m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$ (Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)

Now,

$m\angle L+m\angle M+m\angle N=180^\circ$

$(2x+36)^\circ+(3x+17)^\circ+(2x+36)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)=180$

On further simplification, we get

$7x=180-89$

$7x=91$

$x=\dfrac{91}{7}$

$x=13$

The value of x is 13. Using this value, we get

$m\angle L=(2(13)+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=(26+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=62^\circ$

Similarly,

$m\angle M=(3(13)+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=(39+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=56^\circ$

And,

$m\angle N=m\angle L$

$m\angle N=62^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angles are $m\angle L=62^\circ,m\angle M=56^\circ,m\angle N=62^\circ$ .

The mean length of 4 childrens' big finger is 14cm. The mean length of 9 adults' big finger is 16.1cm. What is the mean length (

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The mean length of the 13 people's big finger is 15.45 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mean length of 4 childrens' big finger, x' = 14cm

mean length of 9 adults' big finger is 16.1cm, x'' = 16.1cm

Let the total length of the 4 childrens' big finger = t

$x' = \frac{t}{n} \\\\x' = \frac{t}{4}\\\\t = 4x'\\\\t = 4 *14\\\\t = 56 \ cm$

Let the total length of the 9 adults' big finger = T

$x'' = \frac{T}{N} \\\\x'' = \frac{T}{9}\\\\T = 9x''\\\\T = 9*16.1\\\\T = 144.9 \ cm$

The total length of the 13 people's big finger = t + T

= 56 + 144.9

=200.9 cm

The mean length of these 13 people's big finger;

x''' = (200.9) / 13

x''' = 15.4539 cm

x''' = 15.45 cm (2 DP)

Therefore, the mean length of the 13 people's big finger is 15.45 cm
