Answer:

Sarah bough 3 Angelfish and 5 Bloodfin Tetra

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the number of Angelfish fish and

b be the number of Bloodfin fish

Then according to the given statements

we get the following equations

a+b = 8\ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\4.75a+1.50b=21.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 2

From Equation 1

a = 8-b

Putting in equation 2

4.75(8-b)+1.50b = 21.75\\38-4.75b+1.50b = 21.75\\38-3.25b = 21.75\\-3.25b = 21.75-38\\-3.25b = -16.25\\\frac{-3.25b}{-3.25} = \frac{-16.25}{-3.25}\\b = 5

Putting b=5 in equation 1

a+5 = 8\\a = 8-5 = 3

Hence,

Sarah bough 3 Angelfish and 5 Bloodfin Tetra

Shalnov [3]

The correct answer is

c) Neither person is correct because light does not change frequency when it travels through different media

we have given that The column on the right is labeled speed of light in meters per second and are all times 10 Superscript 8 Baseline with entries 2. 25, 2. 99, 1. 97, 1. 24.

<h3>What happened when light travels through the different media?</h3>

light changes both wavelength and speed when it travels through different media, but the frequency remains the same

light changes both wavelength and speed when it travels through different media, but the frequency remains the same.

Therefore the option c is correct that

Neither person is correct because light does not change frequency when it travels through different media

A fly trapped inside a cubical box with side length 1 meter decides to relieve its boredom by visiting each corner of the box. I
Lelu [443]

Answer:

(4 √ 3 + 4 √2 ) m

Step-by-step explanation:

The  insect can travel from one corner directly to opposite corner in four different ways

each can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem

firstly  for one face we need to calculate the diagonal

H² = 1² + 1² = 2

H = √2

then we calculate the diagonal opposite a corner

for example

A to H where A  is at the bottom and H opposite A in another plane at the top in the cubical box

(Interior diagonal for A to H)² = √2² + 1² = 3

Interior diagonal from A to H = √ 3

there are four such corners, the fly will travel 4 √ 3 and it could also go 4 √2 diagonally to the the other corners

maximum possible length in meters = (4 √ 3 + 4 √2 ) m

Find the measure of GE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. A. 14 B. 20 C. 15 D. 16
julsineya [31]

Answer:

D. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

GH^2 = GF \times GE

12^2 = 9 \times (9+x - 2)

144= 9 \times (7+x)

\frac{144}{9}= (7+x)

16= 7+x

16-7=x

9=x

GE = 9 + x - 2 = 9 + 9 - 2 = 18 - 2

GE = 16
