Answer:

3 red fish

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red to blue is 1:5

15 corresponds to 5 so we would have to do 15/3 to get 5

to find the red fish we would do it backwards, doing 1*3 to get 3

[PROBABILITY] THERE ARE FOUR PEOPLE IN A ROOM THAT HAVEN'T MET BEFORE. THEY ARE TOLD TO SHAKE HANDS, EXACTLY ONCE, OF EVERY OTHE

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 4 people be A, B, C and D. If each of them shakes hands with another person exactly one time then that means

A shakes with B, C and D. So 3 handshakes

B already shakes with A. So B shakes with C and D. 2 handshakes

C already shakes with A and B. So C shakes with D only. 1 handshake.

D already shake hand with all above.

Total handshakes: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

What is the distance (in units) between points C and D? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. A. 4.54 B. 5.00 C. 5.83 D. 3

Kryger [21]

Answer:

5.83 = CD

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve

The legs are the x and y distances

x = (1- -4) = 5 units and y = 3 units

a^2+ b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 3^2 = c^2

25+9 = c^2

34 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(34) = c which is the distance from C to D

5.830951895 = CD

5.83 = CD

Mistake in Line 2 : Was in the determining the values for a ,b,c

Mistake in Line 4 : Not taking the square roots of both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

First Mistake : Line 2

$a = x \\ b = 6 \\ c = 10$

Second Mistake : Line 4

$136 = {x}^{2} \\ not \\ 136 = x$

Correct Solution :

${x}^{2} + {6}^{2} = {10}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {6}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = 100 - 36 \\$

${x}^{2} = 64 \\ \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } = \sqrt{64} \\ x = 6$
