 12

Envision this as a right triangle, with one leg of 12 miles, and the other 16 miles. Solve using the Pythagorean Theorem a²+b²=c²:

12²+16²=c²
400 = c²
20=c...they live at least 20 miles from each other.

A zookeeper is monitoring the population of gazelles. The herd needs three times more males than females to thrive, and the zoo
avanturin [10]

Answer:

0 < x ≤ 12 and 0 < y ≤ 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  x represents the number of female gazelles and y represents  the number of male gazelles.

The zoo only has room for 12 female gazelles.

∵ The number of rooms must be more than or equal to the total female gazelles ,

12 ≥ x

Also, number of animals can not be negative,

And, it must be greater than 0.

⇒ 0 < x ≤ 12,

⇒ 3(0) < 3x ≤ 3(12)

⇒ 0 < 3x ≤ 36

∵ Number of males gazelles = 3 × number of female gazelles

⇒ y = 3x

⇒ 0 < y ≤ 36

Hence, the constraints to represent a thriving population of gazelles at the zoo are,

0 < x ≤ 12,

0 < y ≤ 36

Answer:

209.5 grams are protein

Protein is 25 % or .25

We have 838 grams of peanut butter

25% of it is protein.  Multiply the grams by the percent that is protein to determine how many grams are protein

grams protein = total grams times percent protein

                         =838*.25
