There were 3 different fish caught, Salmon, Herring and Flounder.

4/9 were Herring, 2/9 were Salmon, 4/9 +2/9 = 6/9

This means 3/9 were Flounders ( 3/9 + 6/9 = 9/9 = 1)

3/9 can be reduced to 1/3.

1/3 of the fish were Flounders.

Divide the amount of flounders by the portion caught:

12 / 1/3 = 12 * 3/1 = 36 total fish.

Now you have total number of fish, multiply the total by each portion for each type of fish.

Total fish = 36

Herring = 4/9 x 36 = 16

Salmon = 2/9 x 36 = 8

What is the area of this figure?
nalin [4]

Answer:

<em>290.5 square miles</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider splitting this figure into two mini rectangles and a triangle, each of given lengths;

Dimensions of Rectangle 1 - Height ; 5 mi, Length ; 7 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 1 - Height * Length = 5 mi * 7 mi = 35 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Rectangle 2 - Height ; 18 mi, Length ; 8 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 2 - Height * Length = 23 mi * 8 mi = 184 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Mini Right Triangle - Height ; 11 mi, Base ; 8 + 5 = 13 mi,\\Area of Mini Right Triangle - 1 / 2 * Base * Height = 1 / 2 * 13 mi * 11 mi = 71.5 mi^2,\\\\Area of Figure = 35 mi^2 + 184 mi^2 + 71.5 mi^2 = 290.5 square miles

<em>Solution; 290.5 square miles</em>

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through point P(-4,11) and is parallel to a=[-3,8]. Then write parametric equati
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8), x = -4 - 3\cdot t and y = 11 + 8\cdot t

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector equation of the line is:

\vec l = \vec P + t \cdot \vec A

\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8)

The parametric equations of the line are:

x = -4 - 3\cdot t and y = 11 + 8\cdot t
