Answer and workings in the attachment below.
If you had 454g of shrimp/sq ft in a tank with an 11 sq meter bottom area, how many total kilograms of shrimp do you have?
1 answer:
Answer:
total weight of the shrimp = 53.7549 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Weight of shrimp = 454 g/sq meter
area of bottom of tank = 11 sq meter
By converting meter into ft,
1 sq meter = 10.7639 sq feet
=> 11 sq meter = 11 x 10.7639 sq ft
= 118.4029 sq feet
So, the total area of the bottom of the tank = 118.4029 sq feet
According to question,
Weight of shrimp in 1 square ft = 454 g
so, the weight of shrimp in 118.4029 sq ft = 118.4029 x 454 g
= 53754.9166 g
Since,
= 53.7549 kg
So, the total weight of the shrimp will be 53.7549 kg.

Question 1:
Multiply both sides of the proportion by 35.
You get.
7(x-1) = 4x+2
7x-7 = 4x+2
Now, add both sides by 7 and subtract both sides by 4x
3x = 9
Divide both sides by 3
x=3
Question 2:
Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of
by 3.
We want to multiply it by 3 so that the +1 and +3 become +3 and +9. +3 and +9 have a difference of 6, just like 15 and 21, which is what we want.
Set the numerator equal to the numerator and the denominator equal to the denominator.
3x+3 = 15
3x+9 = 21
If you solve both of these, you get x=4 for both.
That's your answer.
Hope this helps! :)
