Answer: 250


Explanation:


You work this problem by using proportions.


A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.


Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.


Mathematically:

  • 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
  • 5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

  • Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
  • Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
  • Result: 250

<h2>Answer:</h2>

There are total 250 fishes in pond.          

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to given data:

Total number of tagged fishes in the pond = 50

total number of fishes in pond = x = ?

Solution:

Ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes = x/50

You catch 5 tagged fishes out of total caught 25 fishes.

So ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes = 25/5

AS the ratio of total fishes to tagged fishes remains same in whole pond so:

            Whole pond ratio = Ratio of caught fishes

                                 x/50 = 25/5

                               =     x   =  25/5 * 50

                               =     x  =  250

Hence x is the total number of fiches in pond. So its calculated value is 250. It means there are total 250 fishes in pond.

The arrows in the chart below represent phase transitions.
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a. 1,2,and 3.

Explanation:

When something turns liquid, e.g. metal, you need to heat it. When something turns gas, e.g. water, you need to heat it. And when something goes directly from solid to gas, e.g. dry ice, carbon dioxide, you need to add heat to it. hope this helps! Please mark brainiest.

All three of the phosphorus-fluorine single bonds in pf3 are polar. in which direction should the polarity arrows point?
nydimaria [60]
One of the causes of polarity is the unequal forces of the dipole forces due to differences in electronegativity. The more electronegative molecule tend to attract electrons, hence the polarity arrows point towards it. The electronegativity of Phosphorus and Fluorine is 2.19 and 3.98, respectively. Thus, it points outward towards the fluorine atoms.
