A pet shop sells guinea pigs and goldfish.

Mathematics

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that a pet shop sells guinea pigs and goldfish and that the ratio of guinea pigs to goldfish is 20:28.

a) Give this ratio in its simplest form.

The ratio of guinea pigs to goldfish is 20:28. The highest common factor to 20 and 28 is 4. Therefore 20 = 4 × 5 and 28 = 4 × 7. So, the ratio in its simplest form will be 5:7.

b. The shop has a total of 120 guinea pigs and fish. Work out the number of guinea pigs the shop has.

The ratio of guinea pig and goldfish is 5:7. If the shop has a total of 120 guinea pigs and fish, the number of guinea pigs the shop has will be:

= 5/12 × 120

= 5 × 10

= 50 guinea pigs

Solve logarithm equation please with steps.
fomenos
The first time I did it, I got an answer that's not one of the choices.  The second time
I did it, I got an answer that IS .  Here are both of my procedures.  If all you want is
the answer, look down below at the second one.  But if you could help me out, now
that you know how to do this stuff, please look at my first solution and tell me where
I messed up.  I can't find it.
=======================================================

Here's what the problem tells you:

D = 10 log ( ' I ' / 10⁻¹² )

D  = 60 . . . . . find ' I ' .

Here we go:

60 = 10 log ( ' I ' / 10⁻¹² )

Divide each side by 10 :

6 = log ( ' I ' / 10⁻¹² )

Raise 10 to the power of each side of the equation:

10⁶ = ' I ' / 10⁻¹²

Multiply each side by  10¹² :

10¹⁸ = ' I '     That's 10^18.  It looks bad, because that isn't one of the choices.

Let's try a slightly different procedure:

============================================

After substituting 10⁺¹² for I₀ , we're working with this formula:

           D = 10 log ( 'I' / 10⁺¹² )

Let's just look at the log part of that.

The log of a fraction is [ log(numerator) - log(denominator) ]

log of this fraction is [ log( 'I' ) - log(10⁻¹²) ]

But   log(10⁻¹²)  is just (-12) .

So the log of the fraction is [ log( 'I' ) + 12 ]

And the whole formula is now:

         D = 10 [ log( 'I' ) + 12 ]

60 = 10 [ log( 'I' ) + 12 ]

Divide each side by 10 :

6 = log( 'I' ) + 12

Subtract 12 from each side :

-6 = log ( ' I ' )

' I ' = 10⁻⁶

That's choice-'B' .

==================================================

I'm going to leave the first solution up there, in hopes that you, or one
of the many aces, experts, and geniuses that prowl this site constantly,
can weigh in and show me my blunder on the first attempt.
