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.

When (R)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH, nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The nucleophile here is CH3OH. We know that CH3OH is a good nucleophile that promotes SN2 reanction. However, (R)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is a tertiary alkyl halide so the reaction proceeds by SN1 mechanism. This means that a racemic mixture is obtained at the end of the reaction because the attack occurs at the stereogenic carbon atom (6R) hence the product is optically inactive.

On the other hand, when (5R)-2-bromo-2,5-dimethylnonane is reacted with CH3OH, an optically active product is obtained because; though a tertiary alkyl halide and reaction occurs by SN1 mechanism, the attack does not occur at the stereogenic carbon atom (5R). Therefore, an optically active product is obtained in this case.

The diagonals of a rhombus are 6 and 8. The area of the rhombus is 20 24 48
Serhud [2]

Answer:

= 24 square units

Explanation:

The area of a rhombus is given by the formula;

Area = pq/2

Where p and q are the diagonals of the rhombus.

In this case; p = 6 and q = 8

Therefore;

Area = (6×8)/2

        = 24 square units
