Answer:

  • amberjack, 21 lbs
  • kingfish, 42 lbs
  • white marlin, 84 lbs
  • tarpon, 105 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k, a, m, t represent the weights of the kingfish, amberjack, marlin, and tarpon, respectively. The problem statement tells us ...

  • k = 2a
  • m = 2k
  • t = 5a
  • k + a + m + t = 252

Using substitution, we can rewrite the last equation as ...

... (2a) + (a) + 2(2a) + (5a) = 252

... 12a = 252 . . . . . collect terms

... a = 21 . . . . . . . . .divide by 12

Then k = 2a = 42; m = 2k = 84; t = 5a = 105.

The number of outcomes possible from flipping each coin is 2, therefore;

  • The expression that can be used to find the number of outcomes for flipping 4 coins is: 2•2•2•2

<h3>How can the expression for the number of combinations be found?</h3>

The possible outcome of flipping 4 coins is given by the sum of the possible combinations of outcomes as follows;

The number of possible outcome from flipping the first coin = 2 (heads or tails)

The outcomes from flipping the second coin = 2

The outcome from flipping the third coin = 2

The outcome from flipping the fourth coin = 2

The combined outcome is therefore;

Outcome from flipping the 4 coins = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

The correct option is therefore;

  • 2•2•2•2

Find the nth term of 1,4,3,16,5,36,7
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

64,9

Step-by-step explanation:

From my understanding the pattern would be:

Every other number is the next consecutive odd number,  

( 1, 3, 5, 7 ) are all of the consecutive odds. (So the next odd is 9.  )

That when we get to the part of where we get every other number for the remaining numbers, if you multiply the next even number by itself (square it).  

4, 16, and 36 ( they are all perfect squares.  )

They are the perfect squares of ( 2, 4, and 6) . So it makes sense that ( 8 ) is the next even number and you would square that and get ( 64 )

I hope this makes sense!!
