Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Each fish bowl to have pebbles of weight equivalent to = \frac{1}{6}

Total pounds of pebbles that Timothy can use = 2\frac{1}{3}

To find:

The greatest value of Total number of fish bowls that Timothy can fill ?

Solution:

First of all, we need to convert mixed fraction into a fractional number and then we also need to see division of two fractions.

Formula:

1. \ p\dfrac{q}{r} = \dfrac{p\times r+q}{r}\\2. \ \dfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}d}=\dfrac{a\times d}{b\times c}

Now, the given mixed fraction can be converted to fractional number as:

2\dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{2\times 3+1}{3} = \dfrac{7}{3}

Now, To find the total number of fish bowls that can be filled, we need to divide the total number of pounds with number of pounds of pebbles in each fish bowl.

So, the answer is:

\dfrac{\frac{7}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{7\times 6}{3\times 1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{42}{3}\\\Rightarrow \bold{14}

<em>14</em> number of fish bowls can be filled.

What the domain and range is for the function f(x) = x2 + 4x - 21.
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:  f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 21.

This function has a graph which is a parabola that opens up.

Its vertex is found by completing the square:

x² + 4x + 4 - 4 - 21, or

 (x + 2)² - 25

Comparing this to the standard equation

 (x - h)² + k, we see that h = -2 and k = -25.

Thus, the vertex (and the minimum of this function) is (-2, -25).

Thus, the range is [-25, ∞ ).  This being a polynomial function, it has no restrictions on the domain:  the domain is (-∞, ∞ )

How do you know if a number is rational or irrational
Kay [80]

A rational number is a number that is not repeating. So a rational number can be 5 or 2.3314. But Pi is irrational. So is 1/3 and 2/3 because in decimal form they are repeating. Which means they will go on forever which makes them irrational.

Solve for y: -2(5y-1)-y=-4(y-3)
Talja [164]

Answer:

<h2>y =  -  \frac{10}{7}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2(5y - 1) - y = - 4(y - 3)

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

-10y + 2 - y = - 4y + 12

Group like terms

Send the constants to the right side of the equation and those with variables to the left side

That's

- 10y - y + 4y = 12 - 2

- 7y = 10

Divide both sides by - 7

We have the final answer as

<h3>y =  -  \frac{10}{7}</h3>

Hope this helps you
