Answer:
45 horseshoe crabs and 45 sea stars
Step-by-step explanation:
The aquarium initially contained x crabs and x sea stars.
"After 15 horseshoe crabs and 27 sea stars are removed the ratio of horseshoe crabs to sea stars is 5:3"
(x-15):(x-27) = 5:3
(x-15)/(x-27) = 5/3
3(x-15) = 5(x-27)
3x-45 = 5x-135
90 = 2x
x = 45
Find the difference in temperature between each 1000 feet:
From 1 to 2: 30 - 23.5 = 6.5
From 2 to 3: 23.5 - 17 = 6.5
From 3 to 4: 17 - 10.5 = 6.5
The temperature change is constant as it drops 6.5 degrees for every 1000 foot gain in elevation.
At 5,000 feet the temperature would be : 10.5 - 6.5 = 4
At 6,000 feet: 4 - 6.5 = -2.5
At 7,000 feet: -2.5 - 6.5 = -9
At 8,000 feet: -9 - 6.5 = -15.5
At 8,000 feet the temperature would be -15.5 degrees.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
11/4% = (11/4)/100 = 11/400 = 0.0275;
1/4 = 0.2500;
1/80 = 0.0125;
We observe that 0.0125 < 0.0275 and 0.0114 < 0.0275 and 0.2500 > 0.0275 and 0.12500 > 0.0275;
The answers are c. and d.
