Answer: 15 crocodriles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the ratio is 4:3

This means that for each 4 hippos, we have 3 cocodriles.

We know that there are 20 hippos.

How many groups of 4 hippos we have?

n = 20/4 = 5

So we have 5 groups of 4 hippos, this means that we also have 5 groups of 3 crocodiles, then we have:

3*5 = 15 crocodiles

30 minutes into 3 feet per minute
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

This is how you convert

Step-by-step explanation:

Feet per minute is speed unit, symbol: [fpm]. Definition of 1 feet per minute ≡ 1 ft / 60 s = 30.48 cm / 60 s. The speed with which the body moves 1 foot (or 30.48 centimetres) in 1 minute.. Compared to metre per second, feet per minute is smaller unit.

Suppose a parabola has an axis of symmetry at x=-5, a maximum height of 9, and passes through the point (-7,1). Write the equati
Nutka1998 [239]

the parabola has maximum at 9, meaning is a vertical parabola and it opens downwards.

it has a symmetry at x = -5, namely its vertex's x-coordinate is -5.

check the picture below.

so then, we can pretty much tell its vertex is at (-5 , 9), and we also know it passes through (-7, 1)


\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \leftarrow \textit{using this one}\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{}{ h},\stackrel{}{ k}) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} h=-5\\ k=9 \end{cases}\implies y=a[x-(-5)]^2+9\implies y=a(x+5)^2+9


\bf \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} x=-7\\ y=1 \end{cases}\implies 1=a(-7+5)^2+9 \\\\\\ -8=a(-2)^2\implies -8=4a\implies \cfrac{-8}{4}=a\implies -2=a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill y=-2(x+5)^2+9~\hfill

Last question and then I’ll take care of the rest on my own ^^^^
Bond [772]

Answer:

  (c)  5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

  a^-b = 1/a^b

__

Using these rules, we can simplify the expression as follows:

  (5^-3)(2^2)(5^6)/((2^3)(5^2)) = (5^(-3+6-2))(2^(2-3)) = (5^1)(2^-1)

  = 5/2

How many quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 8 quarts of a 40% antifreeze solution to obtain a 60% antifreeze solution
anyanavicka [17]

Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.

8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.

The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means

(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60

Solve for <em>q</em> :

3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)

3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>

0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6

<em>q</em> = 4

5x – (13 – x) &gt;_9x – 7
ad-work [718]

Answer:

x<_2

Step-by-step explanation:

first off solve this like a regular equation the >_ dosent matter till later

so basically first multiply - by 13 and -x so you get -13 and x (multiplying two negatives = a positive)

so its 5x-13+x>_9x-7

add 5x and x to get 6x-13 on one side

then you get 6x-13>_9x-7 then subtract -9x from both sides

so its now -3x-13>_-7 add 13 so you get -3x>_6

then divide both sides by -3 (when you divide an equation with a >< or <_ >_ by a negative number that sign switches) so it will now be x<_2

that your final answer hope this helps :)
