Explain how you decide wether to multiply or divide by 3 if you need to convert yards to feet.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting yards to feet means that we want the label of yards to cancel, leaving feet as our label. Use the factor-label method taught in chemistry.

$???yds *\frac{3feet}{1yd}$

The yards label cancels out, leaving feet as our label. So to answer the question, in order to convert from yards to feet you are multiplying by 3.

A biologist studying the relationship between tilapia and catfish in a pond finds that the ratio of tilapia to catfish is 6:20.

Neko [114]

Answer: 9 tilapia

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of 6:20 for tilapia to catfish means that for every six tilapia, there are 20 catfish in the pond.

If there are 30 catfish, use direct proportion to find out the number of tilapia:

6 : 20

x : 30

Cross multiply:

20x = 180

x = 180 / 20

x = 9 tilapia

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length in the right triangle

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

it depends

Step-by-step explanation:

If 17 is the hypotenuse

$c=17\\\\b=12\\\\a=?\\\\c^{2} =a^2+b^2\\\\17^2=a^2+12^2\\\\17^2-12^2=a^2\\\\(17-12)(17+12)=a^2\\\\5(27)=a^2\\\\a=\sqrt{9*3*5} \\\\a=3\sqrt{15} \\\\a=11.6$

if you are looking for the hypotenuse

$a=17\\\\b=12\\\\c=?\\\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\17^2+12^2=c^2\\\\289+144=c^2\\\\433=c^2\\\\c=\sqrt{433} \\\\c=20.8$

Kia is printing packets of information. There are 23 pages in a packet, and she needs enough copies for 52 people. Each package

Andrew [12]

No she will not have enough paper because 200 times five is 1000 and if you multiply 23 by 52 is 1196 but I am not fully sure if this answer is right
