Answer:

0.04%

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 1000 penguins per square miles, the total number of penguins in a 10 square miles will be 1000*10 = 10,000 penguins/10square miles

Since a polar bear has a territory of 10 square miles, and can only eat four penguins within the 10square miles;

Percentage of penguins that the polar bear can eat will be expressed as;

number of penguin eaten per 10square miles/total number of penguin per 10square miles * 100

Percentage of penguins that the polar bear can eat = 4/10,000 * 100%

Percentage of penguins that the polar bear can eat = 4/100%

Hence, the percentage of penguins that the polar bear can eat in the 10 square miles is 0.04%

What percent of 150 is 9?

irga5000 [103]

One of the ways to find the answer is to find how much 1 percent of 150 is. To do that we just have to divide 150 by 100:

150 / 100 = 1.5

Now we can divide 9 by 1.5 to know how much percent of 150 it is:

9 / 1.5 = 6

Let's check it:

150 * 6% = 150 * 6/100 = 15 * 6/10 = 3 * 6/2 = 18/2 = 9

It's correct then :)

A mirror is 24 inches high and 28 inches wide. The center of the mirror will hang 514 feet from the floor on a wall that is 8 fe

Vanyuwa [196]

The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling once the mirror is hung on the wall is 21 inches

The dimension of the mirror is given as:

$Height = 24\ in$

$Width = 28\ in$

From the center of the mirror to the floor of the wall, the distance is:

$Distance =5\frac14\ ft$

So, the distance to the top of the mirror will be:

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft + \frac 12 \times Height$

Substitute 24 for height

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ \frac 12 \times 24\ in$

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ 12 \ in$

Convert feet to inches

$Top = 5\frac 14\times 12\ in+ 12 \ in$

$Top = 63\ in+ 12 \ in$

$Top = 75 \ in$

The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling is the difference between the height of the wall and 75 inches.

So, we have:

$Distance = 8\ ft - 75\ in$

Convert feet to inches

$Distance = 8\times 12\ in - 75\ in$

$Distance = 96\ in - 75\ in$

$Distance = 21\ in$

Hence, the distance is 21 inches

Graph this rational equation. Identify the points of discontinuity, holes, vertical asymptotes, x-intercepts, and horizontal asy

irakobra [83]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

A rational function : f(x) = $\frac{x-2}{x-4}$

W need to find :

Point of discontinuity : - At x = 4, f(x) tends to reach infinity, So we get discontinuity point at x =4.

For no values of x, we get indetermined form (i.e $\frac{0}{0}$ ), Hence there is no holes

Vertical Asymptotes:

Plug y=f(x) = ∞ in f(x) to get vertical asymptote {We can us writing ∞ = $\frac{1}{0}$ }

i.e ∞ = $\frac{x-2}{x-4}$

or $\frac{1}{0}=\frac{x-2}{x-4}$

or x-4 =0

or x=4, Hence at x = 4, f(x) has a vertical asymptote

X -intercept :

Plug f(x)=0 , to get x intercept.

i.e 0 = $\frac{x-2}{x-4}$

or x - 2 =0

or x = 2

Hence at x=2, f(x) has an x intercept

Horizontal asymptote:

Plug x = ∞ in f(x) to get horizontal asymptote.

i.e f(x) = $\frac{x-2}{x-4}$ = $\frac{x(1-\frac{2}{x} )}{x(1-\frac{4}{x} )}$

or f(x) = $\frac{(1-\frac{2}{∞} )}{(1-\frac{4}{∞} )}$

or f(x) = 1 = y

hence at y =f(x) = 1, we get horizontal asymptote
