Answer:

The required equation is:

0.23x = 52

Hence, option A is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let 'x' be the initial depth

The snow is now 52 inches deep and it is a 77% decrease.

Let the initial 'x' depth be represented as 100%.

x → 100%

Given the current 52 inches is a 77% decrease. So, we need to decrease the 77/100 or 0.77 from the initial depth, so

[100% - 77%] of x = 52

[100/100 - 77/100] × x = 52

[1 - 0.77] × x = 52

0.23x = 52

Therefore, the required equation is:

0.23x = 52

Hence, option A is true.

Can you help me on question six?!
Amanda [17]

Answer: A (1:2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 12 puppies total and 8 of the puppies are yellow labs, there must be 12 - 8 = 4 black labs. Now, the ratio of black labs to yellow labs is 4:8 because there are 4 black labs and 8 yellow labs. However, we can simplify this ratio by dividing the entire ratio by 4. In this case, we would get (4/4):(8/4), which simplifies to 1:2, which is the answer.

g A sailing ship stopped at several islands, releasing one mating pair of goats onto each one. On the large island, the goats' g
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The goat population reaches 1000 in 12.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

After <em>t </em>years, the number of goats is given by

N = N_0e^{bt}

where N_0 is the initial number of goats and <em>b</em> is the per capita growth rate.

From the question,

  • N_0 = 2
  • <em>b</em> = 0.5
  • <em>N</em> = 1000

1000 = 2e^{0.5t}

e^{0.5t} = 500

0.5t = \ln 500 = 6.214

t = \dfrac{6.2}{0.5} = 12.4

Can someone please help me
shutvik [7]
First off you need to convert the numbers into mixed numbers.
1 3/7 goes to 10/7
3 2/3 goes to 11/3

Then you multiply the numerators together:
10 * 11 = 110

Do the same for the denominators:
3 * 7 = 21

Then place it into a fraction and you make the fraction positive because the signs at the start are the same:
110/21

Then you can turn it into a proper fraction:
5 5/21
