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! :)
1/5 = 3/15
1/3 = 5/15
2/3 = 10/15
So no :)
Reason why:
You want to find the common denominator between all three fractions, so all fractions are the same proportions. So in this case, if you multiply 5*3 you get 15, making it the common denominator. Then since you multiplied the 5 in 1/5 by 3 to get 15, and you have to multiply the 3 in 1/3 and 2/3 by 5 to get 15, then you multiply the numerator by the same number.
Sorry I am terrible at explaining things. Hope this helped though!
Answer:
The answer to your question is A = 648 u²
Step-by-step explanation:
I attach the solution because it said that I was writing improper words.
Answer:
m<A = 70 deg
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg. Add the three measures and set equal to 180. Solve for x. then use the value of x and the expression for m<A to find the measure of angle A.
m<A + m<B + m<C = 180
5x - 25 + 2x + 10 + 3x + 5 = 180
10x - 10 = 180
10x = 190
x = 19
m<A = 5x - 25 = 5(19) - 25 = 95 - 25 = 70
Answer: m<A = 70 deg
Answer:
D = {-3, -2, -1, 1, 4}
R = {-5, -1, 0, 2}
Step-by-step explanation:
You have correctly described the process of finding the domain and range by the way you filled in the blanks at the top of the sheet.
__
The domain is the set of x-values of the points on the graph:
D = {-3, -2, -1, 1, 4}
The range is the set of (unique) y-values of the points on the graph:
R = {-5, -1, 0, 2}
