1. can't be determined cause no info given on the rate of which the population is growing.
2. can't be determined/not true because the initial population of a could be less than b.
3. can't be determined/not true because we don't have enough info to tell how fast they grow and decline.
Answer:
There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is 2:14. But this does not tell us how many dimes nor how many quarters we have. Instead, it's a ratio. Modify this by multiplying numerator and denominator by n and then find n:
Number of dimes 2n
----------------------------- = -----
Number of quarters 14n
Then the total number of coins is 2n + 14n =48, implying that:
16n = 48, or n = 3.
Then the number of dimes is 2(n) = 2(3) = 6, and that of quarters is 14(n) =
14(3) = 42.
There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes). Notice how the total of 42 and 6 is 48.
Martin will have to mark 0.125 on the
Let the original weight of the scale be 1kg. Hence we can say the original mark for 1kg weight is 1 that is:
1kg = 1 ................ 1
Since we are to calculate where to mark for a 1/8 kg weight, we can write;
1/8 kg = x ..................2
Divide both expressions
This means Martin will have to mark 0.125 on the scale.
