Answer:

\frac{1}{10} of the fish are red guppies.

and \frac{9}{10} of the fish are not red guppies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: two-fifths of the fish in Gary's fish tank are guppies.

           One fourth of the guppies are red.

To find: What fraction of the fish in Gary's tank are red guppies? what fraction of the fish in gary's are not red guppies?

Solution:

Let the total number of fish in Gary's fish tank be <em>x</em>.

It is given that two-fifths of the fish in Gary's fish tank are guppies.

So, number of guppies in the Gary's fish tank is \frac{2}{5}\times x

Now, it is also given that One fourth of the guppies are red.

So, number of red guppies =\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{2x}{5}

=\frac{x}{10}

So, \frac{1}{10} of the fish are red guppies.

and 1-\frac{1}{10} =\frac{9}{10} of the fish are not red guppies.

How to find an exponential function with two points?
BabaBlast [244]
Well u have a basic equation y=a • b^x
a is the initial amount
b is the growth factor
and x is the exponent

the first step is to make a chart with ur two points for example
(0,4) and (2,16)
so ur chart will be
x. | y.
0. | 4
2. | 16
next you find the difference between the x side so 0 to 2 is +2
then find the difference between the y side so 4 to 16 is +12
then put it into a fraction with y over x or y/x so 12/2 then simplified 6/1 or just 6.

6 is the growth factor
and to find a u have to go on the y column and find the first number so
a is 4
x is still x because it's 0 but if it was 2 then it would be x-2 so it can cancel
so the answer would be y=4 • 6^x
