Complete question :

Bernie and Chloe hiked the Tremont Trail to the end and back. Then they hiked the Wildflower trail to the end before stopping to eat lunch. Before Ricardo ate his lunch, he hiked 2 2/3 times as far as Bernie and Chloe. How far did he hike?

Required diagram is attached below

Answer:

25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Tremont Trail = 3 1/2 miles

Wildflower trail = 2 3/8 miles

Distance covered ; Tremont Trail and back : (3 1/2 * 2). = 7/2 * 2 = 14 /2 = 7 miles

Total distance covered by Bernie and Chloe before stopping for lunch /

(7 miles + 2 3/8 Miles) = 9 3/8 miles = 75/8 miles

Ricardo's distance = 2 2/3 * Bernie and Chloe's total distance

Ricardo's distance = 8/3 * 75/8 = 600 /24 = 25 miles

Ms. Carey grades 4 tests during her lunch. She grades 1/3 of the remainder after school. If she syill5has 16 test to grade after

enot [183]

Answer: 24 tests

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Carey graded 1/3 of the tests and still had 16 tests to go.

This means that the 16 tests represent the remaining proportion of the total number of tests:

= 1 - 1/3

= 2/3

2/3 of the total is equal to 16 tests. Assuming the total is x, the expression would be:

2/3x = 16

x = 16 ÷ 2/3

x = 16 * 3/2

x = 24 tests

Why 9 is a square number plot

konstantin123 [22]

Informally: When you multiply a whole number times itself, the resulting product is called a square number, or a perfect square or simply "a square." So 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, and so on, are all square numbers

A lake has 10,000 fish.when a fishman scoops up his net ,he catches 500 fish. Suppose 150 of the 500 fish in his net are salmon.

Inessa [10]

You need x 20 to get to 10000, so do the same with 150 and get 3000, so it is 3000/10000
