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.

There are five identical blue books, two identical green books, and three identical black books. How many different patterns can
dsp73

Answer:

2520 patterns

Step-by-step explanation:

In 'n' 10!  ways, books can be arranged. But, there are also 5! permutation of blue books 'n1', 2! permutation of identical green books 'n2', and 3! permutation identical black books 'n3'.

Therefore, for non identical arrangements:

\frac{n!}{n1!n2!n3!}

\frac{10!}{5!2!3!} = 2520

Therefore, the books can be arranged on a shelf in 2520 patterns

If you invest $500 at 4% interest,compounded annually,how much is in the account at the end of six years?
Genrish500 [490]
So, we'll find out how much interest this person will have in 6 years and then add it to the original deposit. To do this we will multiply all the factors:

500 x 0.04 x 6 = 120.
This means they'll have made $120 in interest in 6 years if they don't touch the money. We will add the 120 to the 500.
500+120= 620

They will have a total of $620 in their account after 6 years.

Answer:

B = 61.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp side/ hypotenuse

sin B = 7/8

Take the inverse of each side

sin ^-1 ( sin B) = sin ^ -1 (7/8)

B =61.04497563

To the nearest tenth

B = 61.0
