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.

horrorfan [7]
Total number of students who did a test was 24
Number of students who scored an A is 14
Number of students who scored a B is 10
Probability that when we randomly select a student, he/she will have an A is:
(Number of students that scored A)/(Total number of students)
=14/24
=7/12
Therefore our answer is 7/12

Convert the angle 0=17pi over 18 radians to degree
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

170°

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from radians to degrees

degree measure = radian measure × \frac{180}{\pi } , thus

degree = \frac{17\pi }{18} × \frac{180}{\pi }

Cancel π on numerator/denominator and 18/ 180 by 18

degree measure = = 17 × 10 = 170°

During the final 5 seconds of a race a cyclist increased her velocity from 4 m/s to 7 m/s . What was her average acceleration du
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the cyclist was 0.6 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration:

The rate change of velocity per unit time is call the acceleration of the object.

a=\frac{v-u}t

u= initial velocity

v= final velocity

t= time taken change of velocity.

During the final 5 seconds of a race cyclist increased her velocity from 4m/s to 7 m/s

Here v= 7 m/s and u=4 m/s t=5 seconds

\therefore a=\frac{7\ m/s-4 \ m/s}{5s}

     =\frac{3}{5} \ m/s^2

     =0.6 m/s²

The average acceleration of the cyclist was 0.6 m/s².
