Answer:

225 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Total population of frogs = 300 frogs.

Observed population of frogs = 24

6 of the 24 observed frogs had spots

Which means , the number of frogs that did not have spots = 24 - 6 = 18 frogs.

We were told to find how many of the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots. We would form a proportion.

If 24 frogs = 18 frogs with no spots

300 frogs = Y

Cross multiply

24Y = 300 × 18

Y = (300 × 18) ÷ 24

Y = 5400 ÷ 24

Y = 225 frogs.

This means out of 300 frogs, 225 frogs do not have spots.

Therefore, the total population that can be predicted to NOT have spots is 225 frogs.

the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots

Answer:

A. t(x) = 450 - 0.06x

Step-by-step explanation:

The layer which is originally 450 m thick is decreasing by 0.06 m.

450 - 0.06

... per day. x represents days.

0.06x

So,

450 - 0.06x

Set up and solve the following using dimensional analysis.
Softa [21]
1).  Multiply (5400 inches) by (1 foot / 12 inch) then by (1 mile / 5280 foot).

      (See explanation at the bottom)

         =      (5400 inch) x (1 foot / 12 inch) x (1 mile / 5280 foot)

         =      (5400 x 1 x 1 / 12 x 5280)  (inch - foot - mile / inch - foot) 

         =          0.0852  mile  


2).  Multiply (16 week) by (7 day/week) then by (24 hour/day)
       then by (60 minute/hour) then by (60 sec/minute).

3).  Multiply (54 yards) by (3 foot/yard) then by (1 meter/3.28 foot)
       and then by (1000 mm/meter)

4).  Multiply (36 cm/second) by (3600 second/hour) then by (1 meter/100 cm)
      then by (1 mile/1609.3 meter).

5).  Look up how many grams in a pound  ('P')
       Look up how many mL in a gallon       ('G')

      Multiply (1.09 g/mL) by ( 1 pound/ P gram) then by (1 gallon/ G mL)

6).  Multiply (32 foot/sec) by (1 meter / 3.28 foot) then by (60 sec/minute).


Each time I told you to multiply by something, it was always a fraction
where the numerator and denominator are equal, like (60 seconds/minute)
or (1 foot / 12 inch).  Since the top and bottom of the fraction are equal, the
value of the fraction is ' 1 ' , and multiplying by it doesn't change the value,
it only changes the units ... that's what this whole exercise is about.
When you multiply, KEEP the units in the product, and then, after you multiply, you can 'cancel' units out of the top and bottom of the product.
Like if you have 'feet' on top and bottom, just cross them out.  When you're done, if you did it correctly, the last unit you end up with will be the one you want.
