In a certain pond, 50 fish were caught, tagged, and returned to the pond. A few days later, 50 fish were caught again, of which

2 were found to have been tagged. If the percent of tagged fish in the second catch approximates the percent of tagged fish in the pond, what is the approximate number of fish in the pond?(A) 400(B) 625(C) 1,250(D) 2,500(E) 10,000

2 out of 50 were tagged.

Divide 2 by 50:

2/50 = 0.4 ( This is 4% of the fish were tagged).

Now divide the number of fish caught by the percentage that were tagged:

50 / 0.04 = 1250

The number of fish in the pond is C. 1250

Xavier can work no more than 40 hours in a week. He has already worked 24 hours this week. What is the maximum number of 8-hour
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

He can work a maximum of 2 8-hour days for the remainder of the week

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, from the question, we are made to know that the maximum work hours is 40 hours.

Now, we know that he has already worked 24 hours this week, the number of hours remains to work will be 40-24 = 16 hours

Now, given that his working hour is 8-hours per day, we want to know the number of days he has to work for the remainder of the week

Mathematically, that would be 16 hours divided by 8-hours days

That is 16/8 = 2

The function y = x2 – 4x + 7 approximates the height, y, of a bird, and its horizontal distance, x, as it flies from one fence
Salsk061 [2.6K]
From the function y=x^2-4x+7
to complete the square we proceed as follows:
The vertex form is given by:
y=(x-h)^2+k
where (h,k) is the vertex:
thus from the function we shall have:
y=x^2-4x+7
c=(b/2a)²
c=(4/2)²=4
thus adding an subtracting 4 in the expression:
y=x^2-4x+4-4+7
y=(x-2)^2+3
thus the vertex will be:
(2,3)

The answer is:
