Answer: the maximum number of fish that the lake can support = 375 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and t represent the bass and trout fish respectively.

Given that;

i. Bass require 2 units of food A and 4 units of food B

ii. trout require 5 units of food A and 2 units of food B

iii. the owner has 1200 units of each food

For food A

2b + 5t = 1200 ....eqn1

For food B

4b + 2t = 1200 ....eqn2

Solving the simultaneous equation

Multiplying eqn1 by 2. We have;

4b + 10t = 2400 .....eqn3

Subtract eqn2 from eqn3

4b-4b +10t-2t = 2400-1200

8t = 1200

t = 1200/8

t = 150

Substituting t= 150 into eqn1

2b + 5(150) = 1200

2b = 1200 - 750 = 450

b = 450/2 = 225

Therefore, the total number of fish is given as

t + b = 150 + 225 = 375

225 bass and 150 trout

Brenda has $30. She gets $5 every time she takes out the trash. Which inequality can be used to find x, the number of times Bren
kobusy [5.1K]

Brenda has to take out the trash more than 4 times to have more than $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount Brenda already have = $30

Amount she gets each time for throwing trash = $5

Amount she wants to have = More than $50

Let,

x be the number of times she throws trash.

Amount for throwing trash * Number of times trash thrown + Amount already have > Amount she wants to have

5*x+30>50\\5x>50-30\\5x>20

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}>\frac{20}{5}\\x>4

Brenda has to take out the trash more than 4 times to have more than $50.

161 1-foot tiles.

EXPLANATION:

To find how many tiles we need,
We must find the area of the kitchen.

To find the area, you multiply
length x width

In this question,
the length is 14
the width is 11.5

14 x 11.5 is 161.

So 161 1-foot tiles to cover the kitchen.

Hope this helps! Have a gud day!
