Answer:

He bought approximately 16 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many pigs the farmer had originally all you have to do is add three to amount of pigs he sold, since three of the died. In order to find how many he sold all you need to do is divide 109 by 8, since he made a profit of $8 per pig. 109 / 8 = 13.625, 13.625 + 3 = 16.625

Find the volume of a square pyramid with base edges of 48 cm and a slant
SOVA2 [1]
The height of this pyramid will be:

√(26^2 - (48/2)^2) = 10cm

So the volume is: V = 1/3 * 48^2 * 10 = 7680 cm^3

A man travelled 3/8 of his journey by a rail 1/4 by a taxi 1/8 by and the remaining 2km on foot what is the length of his total
Burka [1]
The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.

Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,

3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1

The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,

x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4

That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,

Let total distance be D.

1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km

Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.

: A new bear population that begins with 150 bears in 2000 decreases at a rate of 20% per year.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

2 bears in 2020.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a new bear population that begins with 150 bears in 2000 decreases at a rate of 20% per year.

We will use exponential decay formula to solve our given problem as:

y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, where,

y = Final quantity,

a = Initial value,

r = Decay rate in decimal form,

x = Time

20\%=\frac{20}{100}=0.20    

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

y=150(1-0.20)^x

y=150(0.80)^x, where x corresponds to year 2000.

To find the population in 2020, we will substitute x=20 in our equation as:

y=150(0.80)^{20}

y=150(0.011529215046)

y=1.7293822569    

y\approx 2

Therefore, 2 bears are there predicted to be in 2020.

Since population is decreasing so population is best described as exponential decay.

Answer:

Option A, \frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Determine the numbers that are multiples of 3</u>

8 → Not a multiple of 3

9 → Multiple of 3

14 → Not a multiple of 3

19 → Not a multiple of 3

25 → Not a multiple of 3

34 → Not a multiple of 3

38 → Not a multiple of 3

<u>Step 2:  Determine the probability of chosing a multiple of 3</u>

Since we only have 1 number that is a multiple of 3 out of the 7 given numbers, that means that we do the following:  

\frac{(1\ multiple\ of\ 3)}{7\ total\ numbers}

\frac{1}{7}

Answer: Option A, \frac{1}{7}
