3.If the ratio of lynx to mountain lions and wolverines in the park is 2:3:1.So for every 2 lynx, there are 3 mountain lions and

1 wolverine.
a.if there were 6 lynx, how many wolverine would be in the park?

b.If there were 15 mountain lion,how many lynx would be in the park?

c.if there were 10 wolverine in the park, how many mountain
lions?

d.if the total number of lynx, mountain lions and wolverine was 30, how many of each animal would there be in the park?

A.  The ratio of lynx to mountain lions to wolverines is 2:3:1.

Thus, there are 2 lynx in the ratio.  If there were 6 lynx, we would have to multiply all of the numbers in the ratio by 3 (because 6/2 = 3) to keep the ratio in the same proportion.  

Therefore, because there is 1 wolverine in the ratio, and 1 * 3 = 3, if there were 6 lynx, there would be 3 wolverines.

b. We can use the same ideas that we had in part a to help us in part b.
There are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, but there are 15 mountain lions in the problem.  Thus, the multiplier is 5, because 15/3=5.

Therefore, because there are 2 lynx in the ratio, and 2*5 = 10, if there were 15 mountain lions, there would be 10 lynx.

c.  There is one wolverine in the ratio, but there are 10 wolverines in the problem.  Thus, the multiplier is 10, because 10/1 = 10

Therefore, because there are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, and 3 * 10 = 30, if there were 10 wolverines in the park, then there would be 30 mountain lions.

d.  The total number of lynx, mountain lions, and wolverines is 30.
To find out how many of each animal there should be, we must make an equation using the ratio and the variable x. 

2x + 3x + 1x = 30

This equation means that the total number of animals together is 30, which is true.  Now let's simplify by combining like terms.

6x = 30

Finally, we can simplify by dividing both sides by the coefficient of x, or 6.

x = 5

Thus, going back to our original equation, we know that the amount of lynx is 2x, mountain lions is 3x, and wolverines is 1x.

Lynx = 2x = 2(5) = 10 lynx
Mountain Lion = 3x = 3(5) = 15 mountain lions
Wolverines = 1x = 1(5) = 5 wolverines

Hope this helps! :)

How to solve this brainteaser
laila [671]

Answer:

last row equals 333

Step-by-step explanation:

The clock showing time 9:00 should be worth 9 points, and the clock showing 3:00 should be worth 3 points, giving for the first row:

9 + 9 + 3 = 21

the three equal calculators showing 1234 are worth 10 points each:

1+2+3+4 = 10

and 10 + 10 + 10 = 30

the light bulbs should be 15 points each then giving 15 + 15 - 15 = 130 - 15 = 15 Notice also that they all have 5 rays of light coming out (so a 3 points per ray)

Now for the bottom line we have:

9 + (1+2+2+4) times 3 * 12 (only four rays on each bulb thus 4 * 3 = 12)

Notice we added the figures that appear in the calculator.

9 + 9 * 36 = 333

Two digits of the 5-digit number A = 74*9* are missing. Fill in the missing digits so that the number obtained is the smallest p
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

A = 74295.

Step-by-step explanation:

74*9*

- the last number must be a 0 or a 5.

So we try 74090/45 -  not an integer

74095/45 = No

74190/45 No

74195/45  No

74295 / 45 = 1651 So that's it,
