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 electron dot diagram for an atom of carbon has how many pair(s) of electrons and how many unpaired electrons
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The resultant structure is shown below. This structure contains four shared pairs of electrons, which are located on all four "sides" of carbon's electron dot structure. Each of these shared pairs was created by pairing one of carbon's unpaired electrons with an unpaired electron from chlorine.

How many liters of 4M solution can be made using 100 grams of lithium bromide
uysha [10]
Molar mass of LiBr (mm )= 86.845 g/mol

Molarity ( M ) = 4 M 

Mass of solute ( m ) = 100 g

Volume ( V ) = in liters ?

V = m / mm  * M

V = 100 / 86.845 * 4

V = 100 / 347.38

V = 0.2875 L

natima [27]

Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment proved the existence of a small massive center to atoms, which would later be known as the nucleus of an atom. Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden carried out their Gold Foil Experiment to observe the effect of alpha particles on matter.

balandron [24]

Answer:

The molar mass of carbon

Explanation:

Before the mass (in grams) of two moles of carbon can be determined, <u>the molar mass of the element would be needed.</u>

<em>This is because the number of mole of an element is the ratio of its mass and the molar mass</em>. That is,

number of mole = mass/molar mass

Hence, the mass of elements can be obtained by making it the subject of the formular;

mass = number of mole x molar mass

<em>Therefore, the molar mass of carbon would be needed before the mass of 2 moles of the element can be determined.</em>
