A small country is made up of two islands: a big island and a small island. There are currently 530,000 people living on the two

islands. Each year, 3% of the people on the big island move to the small one, and 7% of the people on the small island move to the big one. Assuming the population of the country remains at 530,000, how many people will eventually live on the big island?

Answer:

  371,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The population will stabilize at a level that has the same number moving in each direction each year. If "b" and "s" represent the numbers of people on the "big" and "small" islands, respectively, we want ...

  b + s = 530,000

  .03b = .07s

From the second equation, ...

  s = (3/7)b . . . . . divide the above equation by .07 and simplify

Substituting this into the first equation, we get ...

  b + (3/7)b = 530,000

  (10/7)b = 530,000 . . . . collect terms

  b = (7/10)(530,000) = 371,000 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b

The big island population will stabilize at 371,000 people.

The length of a rectangular garden is three feet less than twice it’s width. If the perimeter of the garden is 42 feet, what is
zzz [600]
<h3><u>The length is equal to 13.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 8.</u></h3>

l = 2w - 3

2l + 2w = 42

Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.

2(2w - 3) + 2w = 42

Distributive property.

4w - 6 + 2w = 42

Combine like terms.

6w - 6 = 42

Add 6 to both sides.

6w = 48

Divide both sides by 6.

w = 8

Now that we have a value for w, we can solve for the exact value of l.

l = 2(8) - 3

l = 16 - 3

l = 13

A central angle θ in a circle of radius 4 m is subtended by an arc of length 5 m. find the measure of θ in degrees. (round your
koban [17]

Answer:

\theta=71.6\°

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the circumference of the circle

The circumference is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

r=4\ m

substitute the values

C=2\pi (4)=8 \pi\ m

step 2

Remember that

360 degrees subtends the arc of length  8 \pi\ m (circumference)

so

by proportion

Find the measure of θ by an arc of length 5 m

assume \pi=3.1416

\frac{360}{8\pi}=\frac{\theta}{5}\\ \\ \theta=360*5/8\pi \\ \\ \theta=71.6\°
