Answer:

The number of fishing boats in the bay = 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of sailboats = 24

Let us assume the number if fishing boats in the bay = m

⇒ Ratio of fishing boats to sailboats in a bay = m : 24.

Now, the ratio of fishing boats to sailboats in a bay is 8 : 3.

So, by the RATIO OF PROPORTION:

$\frac{m}{24} = \frac{8}{3} \implies m = \frac{8}{3} \times 24 = 64$

⇒ m = 64

Hence the number of fishing boats in the bay = 64.

tyler has a rectangular garden measuring 12m by 20 m that he wants to split diagonally from corner to corner using a fence. how

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

23.3

(or $4\sqrt{34}$ (let me know if you wanted this one and is you want it explained) lol)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the fence, use the Pythagorean theorem because, if you cut a rectangle diagonally, you will create two right triangles, and this formula only works with right triangles:

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

Insert values:

$12^{2} +20^{2} =c^{2}$

Solve for c:

Evaluate exponents

$144+400=c^2$

Simplify addition

$544=c^2$

Find the square root of both

$\sqrt{544} =\sqrt{c^2}\\\\\sqrt{544} =c\\\\23.324=c\\\\c=23.3$

The fence needs to be approximately 23.3 m.

PLZ HELP ASAP!!! I WILL NAME BRAINLIEST!! 65 POINTS!! (:

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

1. 44 + 3x

2. 2y - 8

3. x - 6

15. $5\frac{7}{8}$

16. $6\frac{1}{3}$

17. $3\frac{7}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7² + 2² - 5 - 4 + 3x

49 + 4 - 5 - 4 + 3x

53 - 5 - 4 + 3x

48 - 4 + 3x

44 + 3x

2. - y - 5 + y + 2(2y-y) - 3

-y - 5 + y + 4y - 2y -3

-y - 5 + 5y - 2y - 3

4y - 2y - 5 - 3

2y - 8

3. 5x -3 - x - 3(x + 1²)

5x - 3 - x - 3x - 3

4x - 3x - 3 -3

x - 3 -3

x - 6

15. $7\frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{3}{8}$

= $7 \frac{2}{8} - 1\frac{3}{8}$

= $\frac{58}{8} - \frac{11}{8}$

= $\frac{47}{8}$ → $5\frac{7}{8}$

16. $9 - 2\frac{2}{3}$

= $\frac{54}{6} - 2\frac{4}{6}$

= $\frac{54}{6} - \frac{16}{6}$

= $\frac{38}{6}$ → $6\frac{2}{6}$ → $6\frac{1}{3}$

17. $10\frac{1}{3} - 6\frac{5}{9}$

= $10 \frac{3}{9} - 6\frac{5}{9}$

= $\frac{93}{9} - \frac{59}{9}$

= $\frac{34}{9}$ → $3\frac{7}{9}$

Hope this helps.

Find the sum of the geometric sequence. 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16

dezoksy [38]

I would convert them all to the denominator 16, due to the smallest fraction and all of them can be converted to it.

1 = 16/16
1/2 = 8/16
1/4 = 4/16
1/8 = 2/16
1/16 = 1/16

1+ 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31

31/16 = 1 15/16

Hope this helps!
