Answer:

Number of total bees = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye.

He later catches 60 and 15 were marked with the dye.

Its very to estimate from the data given.

I'll answer it with ratio.

We'll ratio number of bees with dye to total he caught the second day.

I.e 15:60 = 1:4

We'll multiply this ratio with the number he caught the first day to know the total.

1/4x =100

X = 100*4

X= 400

Where x is the total number of bees in the bee hive.

Answer: $1.45

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by subtracting the change from how much she payed for.

d = dollars | g = goldfish

16d - 0.05d = 15.95d

Then we divide by the goldfish

\frac{15.95d}{11g} = 1.45d

Our answer is 1.45!

The world’s largest round pizza was set in December 2012 by five Italian chefs. The diameter of this pizza was 131 feet. If this
Tems11 [23]

First find the area of the whole pizza.

The formula for area of a circle is Area = PI x r^2

The diameter is given as 131 feet, so r would be 131/2 = 65.5 feet.

I will use 3.14 for PI since the problem doesn't say what value to use.


Area = PI x 65.5^2

Area = 3.14 x 4290.25

Area = 13,471.39 square feet


Divide the total area by the number of pieces:

13,471.39 / 50 = 269.43 square feet


To find the length of the crust first find the circumference of the whole pizza:

Circumference = PI x diameter

Circumference = 3.14 x 131 = 411.34 feet

Now divide the total by the number of pieces:

411.34 / 50 = 8.23 feet


Each slice has an area of about 269.43 square feet and a crust length of 8.23 feet.
