<span>Importance should be given to all the information’s already given in the question.</span>Number of fossils that Elmer has = 300
Percentage of snail shell fossils = 21%
Then
Number of snail shell fossils that Elmer has = (21/100) * 300
= 21 * 3
= 63
So Elmer has 63 snail shell fossils.I hope the procedure is absolutely clear to you and the answer is also correct. Following this procedure it will be possible for you to solve such question with ease in future.<span>

In a first -aid kit the ratio of large bandages is 3 to 2. Based on this ratio, how many large bandages are in the kit if there

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units is 3+2 = 5, and the 3 ratio units representing large bandages make up 3/5 of that total. Thus, large bandages will make up 3/5 of the total number of bandages:

3/5×80 = 48 . . . . number of large bandages in the kit

True or false: Every sequence is either arithmetic or geometric. If this is true, explain. If false,

tiny-mole [99]

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is constant. In formulas, there exists a number $r$ such that

$a_{n+1}-a_n=r\quad \forall n\geq 1$

In an geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. In formulas, there exists a number $r$ such that

$\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=r\quad \forall n\geq 1$

So, there exists infinite sequences that are not arithmetic nor geometric. Simply choose a sequence where neither the difference nor the ratio between consecutive terms is constant.

For example, any sequence starting with

$1, 15, -3,\ldots$

Won't be arithmetic nor geometric. It's not arithmetic (no matter how you continue it, indefinitely), because the difference between the first two numbers is 14, and between the second and the third is -18, and thus it's not constant. It's not geometric either, because the ratio between the first two numbers is 15, and between the second and the third is -1/5, and thus it's not constant.

On their first dive, researchers explore a part of the ocean floor that is 60 feet

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

d < -60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the depth of the researchers' second dive.

Given;

Depth of First dive = -60 ft

It was stated that in their second dive, the researchers explore a deeper depth, That is depth deeper than 60 ft.

Since the depth of 60ft is represented by the integer -60,

Deeper depth would be represented by integers less than -60.

So, d can be represented as;

d < -60

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$621.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the amount (A) resulting from principal P being invested at rate r continuously compounded for period t is ...

A = Pe^(rt)

Filling in the given numbers and doing the arithmetic, we get ...

A = $400e^(0.055·8) ≈ $621.08
