The answer is 20 since 1/5 of 20 is 4, and 20 + 4 = 24.

Answer:  The correct option is (B) n = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that when a number is added to 1/5 of itself, the result is 24. The equation that models this problem is given by

n+\dfrac{1}{5}n=24~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We are to find the value of n.

Solving equation (i), we have

n+\dfrac{1}{5}n=24\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5n+n}{5}=24\\\\\Rightarrow 6n=5\times24\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{5\times24}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow n=20.

Thus, the required value of n is 20.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Change the fraction 7/12 to a decimal. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth
alina1380 [7]
Just divide.

\sf\dfrac{7}{12}\rightarrow7\div12\rightarrow0.58\overline{3}

0.583333. . .
      ^ This is the thousandths place

Look at the number after that, if it's 5 or more we round up, if it's 4 or less we round down.

It's 3, so we round down to 0.583.

What does the point (1994, 400) on the graph represent?
yuradex [85]

Answer: There are 400 tadpoles in the year 1994.

This is because any point is of the form (x,y) where in this case

x = year number

y = tadpole population number

So (x,y) = (1994, 400) means x = 1994 and y = 400 pair up together.

In short, the year x = 1994 corresponds to the population of y = 400 tadpoles.

From the years 1990 to 1992, the population is increasing since the curve goes upward when moving from left to right. Then from 1992 to 1993, the population decreases hitting its lowest point in that specific region. From 1993 to 1997, the population increases before it decreases again from 1997 to 1999.
